Fundraising for Autistica
Events are a great way to raise funds for Autistica and spread the word about autism and our important work.
Whether a Summer Ball or a Christmas Concert, a sponsored swim or a sponsored slim, a run on the road or a walk in the park, a champagne and strawberries picnic in the garden or a teddy bears picnic in the woods, Autistica would love to hear from you if you can run an event for us.
Lynn Hart, our Head of Events can provide you with advice and all the fundraising materials you need. Please email Lynn Hart or contact her by telephone on 01491 411 569.
