How your donation can make a real difference to the work of The National Autistic Society
£15 - Could help pay for a helpline counsellor to send information on autism support to 5 worried parents
£21 - Would pay for the first stage of training a Befriender, who can help support families affected by autism
£50 - Would give 10 people access to The National Autistic Society’s Telephone Helpline, a crucial service providing support to people with autism and their families
£75 - Would pay for up to 10 people with autism to attend our Social Programmes group in Nottingham which provides vital help and support and encourages adults to go out and socialise together
£500 - Would provide a one day help! Seminar for 20 families - help! is a highly innovative training programme for the parents of children who have recently received a diagnosis of autism. The course is applicable to children of all ages and it provides essential, timely information and practical strategies to help parents to understand and manage their childs’ condition. Crucially, the programme also gives parents the knowledge and confidence to plan for their child’s future.
£1,100 - Just £21 could pay for a trained Befriender to take someone with autism out for an hour – perhaps the only hour that they are able to spend outside their home that week. £1,100 would support that person for a year.
£2,500 - Will give a person with Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism, the opportunity to gain full time supported employment.
