Image Description: A promotional poster for Stim Cafe features a bold, deep purple background. At the centre is a vibrant logo: a steaming coffee cup made of flowing layered stripes in bright colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The steam rising from the cup mimics the fluid motion of the flames, using the same rainbow colours in soft, curving shapes. Below the cup, the words "Stim Cafe" are written in clean, bold, white text. On slide one, there is a graphic of an older male-presenting person smiling and jumping in the air, wearing a bright orange shirt and glasses. On slide 2 there is a graphic of a female-presenting person sitting calmly cross legged, facing away. Image Description: A promotional poster for Stim Cafe features a bold, deep purple background.

We’re delighted to announce our brand new Accountability Cafe body doubling event, which will launch on 29 August between 1 pm and 3.30 pm at One Strawberry Lane in Newcastle. This event is a drop-in, so no registration is required, and you can just turn up!
A purple flyer with the Stim Cafe logo (a graphic of a cup of coffee made of swirling shapes of various different colours),, the text 'Introducing... Accountability Cafe' and the date and time 29th August 1pm - 3.30pm at One Strawbery Lane in Newcastle, NE1 4BX. Below the text is a graphic of two people facing away, sat side by side on laptops working. A purple flyer with the Stim Cafe logo (a graphic of a cup of coffee made of swirling shapes of various different colours), and the text 'What is Accountability Cafe'. Below is the text "A neuro-inclusive body-doubling drop-in event (no registration necessary), which aims to create a supportive and collaborative, peer-led environment designed to enable attendees to achieve a task (or tasks) they may have been struggling to complete. Attendees act as "body doubles" for each other, providing a friendly, non-judgmental presence and mutual accountability to help everyone set an intention and stay on track with their goal. This event is stim and sensory-friendly. So bring along a task you may have been putting off or struggling to complete, set your intention and aim to complete! Examples of tasks you might want to bring along include paying a bill, sending some emails, finishing a drawing, simply working remotely and much more - it’s up to you! Tea and Coffee will be provided." A purple flyer with the Stim Cafe logo (a graphic of a cup of coffee made of swirling shapes of various different colours), with the title 'What is Body Doubling?'. Below is the text: "Body doubling, also known as parallel working, is a strategy where a person accomplishes tasks more effectively with the presence of another person, either physically or virtually. This presence, which can be in person or through a phone call, video chat, or social media, can help individuals stay focused and motivated by sharing goals with someone else. While some people find it helpful to work on similar tasks together, others benefit simply from having someone nearby or in a virtual space." A purple flyer with the Stim Cafe logo (a graphic of a cup of coffee made of swirling shapes of various different colours), with the title 'Accountability Cafe' and the text "head to www.stimcafe.org.uk for more information", at the bottom of the page is the graphic with two people sat facing away, side by side, both working on laptops.

At Stim Cafe, we don't see autism as a spectrum with fixed ends, but as a constellation. 😊

On Autism Pride Day, we honour the richness of neurodivergent minds, and celebrate the magic that comes with being authentically ourselves. 💫
Image Description: A vibrant poster celebrating Autism Pride Day on the 18th June. The background is a ruch purple galaxy-like texture giving it a cosmic feel. In the middle there is a large rainbow ribbon symbolising autism pride and neurodiversity. Behind the ribbon is a white heart outline symbolising love, unity, and inclusion. At the top of the poster, white bold text reads "18th June Autism Pride Day!" The word pride is in rainbow colours.
