Investing in Brighter Futures


 

Since 2007, The National Autistic Society (NAS) has been working with the Bankers Benevolent Fund (BBF), a charity for bank employees and their dependents, to deliver an exciting programme called Investing in Brighter Futures. 

Now in its second year, Investing in Brighter Futures is a support programme for people and families from the banking community whose lives are touched by autism. If you or your dependent child has autism and you work, or have worked, in the UK banking sector then you can apply for a package of services and support, funded by the Bankers Benevolent Fund, that is specifically designed to meet your individual needs.

Every applicant will receive life membership of the NAS.

You can watch our short film about the Investing in Brighter Futures programme on our YouTube page.

Investing in Brighter Futures runs until March 2010.
