Get involved
Ways to join in
Firstly, thank you! Your interest in supporting our charity is amazing and hugely appreciated. We believe that everyone with autism should be loved and cared for. They should be given the opportunity to realise their potential, to feel safe and secure. Everyone should be the best they can be!
Remember that fundraising should be fun and there are many different ways in which you can fundraise for us – so why not get your friends and family involved too?
- Hold a bake sale – everyone loves cake and we even have a special bake sale pack to get you going, why not add a theme of the colour blue and host it around World Autism Awareness Day (2 April each year).
- Sponsored events – we run a number of events you can take part in and be sponsored for doing so or come up with something yourself and we will help you out.
- Do something different – have a non-uniform day, host a quiz night or sit in a bath of baked beans. The more imagination you use the more interest and money you can raise.
We understand that every contribution is as important as any other, whatever you can do, will be sincerely appreciated.
