World Autism Acceptance Week
On 2nd - 8th April, in line with the National Autistic Society, we dedicate ourselves to this annual event to promote knowledge, awareness, understanding and primarily acceptance of autism spectrum conditions.
During this week, we will be sharing valuable information and resources across our social media platforms. As well as hosting a stall in town, offering a relaxed and fun environment full of information about autism and the services we provide as a charity.
What’s happening
Wednesday 2nd – Friday 4th April: Autism Jersey Gazebo at Charing Cross, will have members of the Autism Jersey team in attendance with colleagues from the Autism Advisory Group, Jersey Youth Service, the Autism and Social Communication Team - who are an advisory service to schools, all there throughout the week to listen, share information and signpost to suitably qualified support.
Friday 4th April: Coffee morning for Parents and Carers at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Noirmont suite: 10:30am-12:00pm.
