What our branches do
Each NAS branch provides a range of activities which may include:
- self-help support for parents and carers
- information and advice
- fundraising activities for existing or future projects
- the operation of a special school or unit for people with autism
- the running of workshops and seminars
- organising respite care/holiday schemes.
It is through local centres that parents, carers and people with autism receive a lot of the help they need.

Forming a branch
Many members of the NAS have wished to develop closer relationships and work together to improve local services and to provide information and support to each other by forming a branch of the NAS. Our branches now range from parent support groups to those with office premises offering a drop-in service, to people running playschemes.
