Making a difference

The funds you raise will enable us to support autistic people and their families at every stage of their journey from getting a diagnosis to finding tools and strategies to lead a fulfilling life.

In the last 5 years our fundraising has had the following impact on individuals;

  • Our Information Line has taken over 15,000 calls
  • 1500 people have attended our training and workshops
  • Over 8000 people have attended our family activities
  • Over 2000 people attended our parent groups
  • Over 1000 people have attended our advice sessions
  • 200 children attended sibling groups
  • 150 people received 1:1 casework support

We have also purchased new sensory equipment for the people who we support in our residential services, improved the garden facilities at three of our homes and helped fund additional activities in the homes for the people we support to take part in.

£10

Could pay for an autistic child to attend a stay and play session. These sessions give children the chance to do what they do best – play.

£15

Is what it costs to run our Information Advice Line for one hour. Providing and listening ear and vital support to those who are affected by autism.

£20

Could help pay for a family to attend an advice session. These sessions help families that have reached a crisis point and offer a helping hand to build a stronger future.

£25

May give a brother or sister of an autistic child the chance to attend a sibling workshop. Sibling workshops allow children to learn more about autism and provide a great opportunity to share their feelings.

£50

Could provide a 1:1 specialist support session to a family with an autistic child. This would help them develop long term coping strategies, improving their day to day lives.

£100

Could fund a 6 week training course for a parent. This course will help families to understand autism, ask questions they may have and meet other parents.
