Please register for a £5 fee and we will send you a T-shirt and a link to create a fundraising page. We recommend this as the best way to fundraise as you can share this online page in lots of ways with those who would like to sponsor you. This fundraising comes straight to us, and we can see what you have raised for fundraising rewards.
We encourage you to invite friends and family to join you on your walk to support you or you can walk alone – whatever you prefer. If anyone else would like to also fundraise and receive rewards, we require them to register the same way. Children under 18 are not expected to register or fundraise but can still take part and receive a medal providing you have raised £100* - this is capped at two medals per registration.

Autistic people face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society – in the health and social care systems, in education, in employment, and everywhere in between. It is crucial that autistic people, and their families and carers, can access tailored information, guidance and support to overcome those barriers, along with opportunities to explore their interests, develop skills and build friendships for fulfilled lives.
By fundraising for the National Autistic Society, you’ll be directly supporting autistic people and their families. You can read more in our latest impact report.
If you are looking for advice and guidance about autism, we offer a wide range of information on topics such as what is autism, diagnosis, communication, mental health, education, and more.
