Volunteers
We really need people who love being kind and want to help individuals with an autism spectrum diagnosis to reach their potential. This could include working in our shop, helping out at fundraising events, helping create crafting projects or assisting in the office with administration. We really need people who are enthusiastic about giving back, to help the charity continue its important work, people who can take part in helping with autism awareness too. We also need practical helpers, a handy person to help with maintenance. Or perhaps you have other skills that may be valuable to us? Please note all volunteers will need to have a DBS check when working directly with an individual with autism.
