Story

Run or Donate in support of Autistic Minds mission to break down barriers and empower autistic people to live more independent, fulfilling lives.

In the UK only 1 in 5 autistic people are in employment (ONS 2021) and are 4 times more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. Autistic Minds is dedicated to addressing these issues and other challenges and inequalities that autistic people face.

We support the autistic community in a unique way because we ARE the autistic community! 80% of our staff are autistic, meaning that all of our services are designed and delivered by a team with lived-experience of autism and all the benefits and challenges that it brings.

By running for our charity, or donating to our campaign, you will be supporting autistic people to:

Move closer to paid employment or volunteering through our specialist employment programmes,

Challenge societies perceptions of autism by carrying out community talks and training,

Form friendships and gain support through our Help Hub and community drop-ins,

Access helpful information and resources through our online directory,

Develop skills and a meaningful career through our social enterprises

Our vision is a society where autistic people are accepted as equals and form an integral part of their communities, pursuing their ambitions, being as independent as possible and having a life which they enjoy waking up to each day. With your support we can make this vision a reality!
