Spectrum Walks is a walking challenge that you can do from your own home. While increasing your step count, you'll be raising vital funds and awareness and acceptance of autism. You can take part in this challenge at any time during August 2021 but if you are stuck for a date, how about Saturday 21 August? That way, your walk will coincide with Spectrum Night Walks, organised walks in Cardiff, London and Manchester. Collectively, you and hundreds of other brilliant people will be walking to transform lives and change attitudes.

If you are organising your own walk, stay safe and arrange your Spectrum Walk in the daytime.

We have lots more tips to help you plan your own Spectrum Walk on our website.

Why we need your help

The walks are a chance to increase public understanding of autism and to fundraise so we can continue to change attitudes and transform lives.

During the pandemic, we know that many autistic adults, children, and their families have felt as if they have been left stranded, as many have struggled to get the support they need, and anxiety levels reached a new high. We are calling on fundraising heroes like you to help create a more hopeful future and help us support autistic people and their families.
