NHS Cheshire and Merseyside have confirmed that they are going to provide us with some additional funds to allow us to extend the current West Cheshire Autism Hub service provision until the end of March 2026. Though this is only a 2-month extension, it is helpful to allow time for future service provision to be reviewed properly and for this to happen with the involvement of autistic adults living in Cheshire West and Chester.

We understand that there will be a new service and funding model going forward from 1st April 2026. This will be developed over the next couple of months.

The funding extension brings a little light relief for everyone involved in the West Cheshire Autism Hub, for our staff, volunteers, and service users; and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to NHS Cheshire and Merseyside for their continued support.

In the New Year, we will be working hard to establish what Dial West Cheshire’s autism focussed service offer looks like from April 2026 onwards.

Thank you to everyone who is invested in our services. Your support means a lot to us and to the people we strive to support.
