Autism Jersey Trek and Ride 2012
-
16th - 22nd September 2012 in France
Autism Jersey has arranged a
challenging trek and ride in the foothills of the Pyrenees
in the Cathar region. The Cathars were a dissident sect of
medieval Christians mainly in what is now the south west of
France.
-In
the 13th
century they were brutally suppressed and took refuge in
hilltop fortresses, known today as ‘Cathar castles’. The
area, which is between Carcassonne and Perpignan, provides
beautiful scenery against the backdrop of the high Pyrenees,
and is now regarded as one of the best walking and
horse-riding areas in France.
The Trek will take place between 16th
and 22nd
September 2012 and is designed to cater for both walkers and
horse riders. Each group will broadly follow similar routes
although it is expected that the riders will cover a greater
distance. Each day will offer up to 7 hours of activity
which will include, when appropriate, visits to the hilltop
castles.
This physically challenging
week will include the opportunity to sample the gastronomy
of the area – not to mention the wine.
The sponsorship which each participant
will be required to obtain forms the first part of the
challenge and will be directed towards providing a permanent
base for Autism in Jersey.

AJ's Get
Away Days
for parents of children and young
people on the Autism Spectrum
We
are planning to trial a ‘get away day’. This is for parents
of children and young people on the Autism Spectrum. The
idea is that you would be able to have a morning or
afternoon to go for lunch or shopping whilst your young
person was being looked for by trained staff in a safe
environment. We are looking for your views on this – would
you be interested? If so email us on
admin@autismjersey.org
with the age of your child and how you think it would work
best for you
