Why we need your support

The support I have received has been invaluable and got me through many dark moments. The speakers and dads have shared coping strategies and experience and as a result I feel more confident as a parent.

Parent of autistic child

A diagnosis of autism can leave a family with more questions than answers.  Many parents suddenly find themselves facing a scary and uncertain future. We are here to support the families through the tough times, to offer a helping hand along the way; a life-line or just a friendly ear to listen, understand and advise. Your financial support will help us to continue to provide:

  • Personalised support for families and children in crisis
  • The development of life skills in children
  • Family support days
  • Support through our helpline service
  • Sibling support groups
  • Support groups and coffee mornings for families
  • Autism awareness training sessions on how autism can affect people’s lives.

Coronavirus Appeal

As a charity we have had to react quickly in order to be there at a time that is challenging for everyone. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has had a significant impact on fundraising income at a time when we need it the most. The loss of World Autism Awareness Week at the start of April means that our donations have almost disappeared.

This is why we really need your help!
