Autism Berkshire

Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

What We Do

We:

• Provide information and advice through a helpline, events, workshops, outreach and newsletters;
• Run accessible social and leisure activities for children and adults;
• Provide autism-specific training and support;
• Work with education, health, emergency and employment services and the six main local authorities in Berkshire to deliver autism-appropriate services;
• Raise awareness in the wider community to promote greater understanding of autism.
• Issue the Thames Valley Autism Alert Card, in conjunction with Thames Valley Police and local authorities in the region.

Leisure and Social Activities

Autism Berkshire delivers a wide range of leisure and social activities for children and adults living with autism.

Children can benefit from trampolining sessions at Bracknell Trampoline Centre, which have health and fitness benefits, as well as being fun.

Autistic adults enjoy meeting up at our social groups, the 197 Club in Reading and the Bear With Me group, which meets in Maidenhead.

Events for all the family are also available, with regular fun days at the Thames Valley Adventure Playground in Taplow, along with one-off special events.

Volunteer

The generous support of our members, fundraisers, funding bodies and the public enables us to provide a wide range of services and support that delivers real benefits to people living with autism across Berkshire.

To continue this work we always need the help of volunteers to assist with everything from supervising activities at one of our children’s clubs to office administration.

We also need people to help us raise funds to pay for our services by organising fundraising events or being sponsored for completing a challenge.

And becoming a member of Autism Berkshire makes you part of a community of people in a similar situation and gives you access to extra services and activities and regular updates on our work.
