Why your help is more important than ever

The coronavirus pandemic has been particularly tough for many autistic people and their families. Services have closed and many people have been left stranded. The ever-changing guidelines and restrictions can be confusing to understand and extremely difficult to implement for autistic people with high support needs. 

Thanks to our supporters, we've been able to campaign to ensure autistic people's needs are taken into account by governments across the UK in these challenging times. Autistic people have been included in mask exemptions and have been given more opportunities to exercise. 

We've developed online resources for autistic people and increased the number of online social groups we run. There is still so much to do and we desperately need your help to continue this vital work. 

Ways to fundraise all year around

We've got lots of ideas to help you raise money in a safe and enjoyable way during these difficult times. Last World Autism Awareness Week during lockdown, hundreds of amazing supporters came up with new and creative ways to raise awareness and money to help create a society that works for autistic people. We're here to help you do the same this time around.
