Any alternatives?
Done things like this before, found them no help...

It's also NOT free, I've done a couple of these and it keeps costing me a minimum of a fiver each way in Taxi fares because the place isn't on the Tram route as it's behind Snig Hill cop shop.

 

Plus you have to apply for funding to get it for free in the first place.

 

Also given my past experience 20 odd years ago with Autism Plus when they were known as Thorne House Services for Autism, to be honest I don't rate their services.

Quite unusual for you to be so negative

I mean, if you want to be so utterly pedantic, nothing in life is free.  A walk in the park is free but there is the wear and tear on my shoes to get there, or the cost of petrol if I go to Graves.

 

Oh when will this madness end!

Can't be that bad, you've not reported them.

I did actually, not that anything happened other than me voting with my feet and going to another care company.

You don't seem to have much luck with your reports & complaints do you?
