WHY SUPPORT US
Since its formation in 1991, the charity has supported 100s of members, supporting them to live full and active lives, helping them navigate health, care, and the wider community. We keep members at the heart of all we do.
Members play an active role in decision making, planning, and governance of the charity, in a way that really helps and addresses their needs.
60% of our Board of Trustees have lived experience, the other all have learnt experience, so together Trustees aid us with decisions and support to ensure we are fulfilling our aims of allowing our members the opportunities to live more fully.
We run a range activities and programmes for Autistic Adults (over 18yrs) and those with Learning Difficulties to take part in within the community.
We run Learning events and Awareness training.
We administer Enfield’s Learning Difficulties and Autism Council, and chair the Enfield Adult Autism Strategy steering group.
We provide volunteering opportunities and training within our organisation.
We provide a healthy living training to give people accessible information on staying healthy.
We give people opportunities to learn and develop their leadership skills.
We employ members to work with us in the head office and in support of activities.
