Story

The skyVac team move to new heights this Autumn when our two intrepid leaders take on a challenge for the ages.

Andy Whiting and Mark Nice will aim to accomplish 5 gruelling challenges in just 5 days to raise money for worthy causes close to their hearts, and we want YOU to get involved.

Starting on the 23rd September, they’ll attempt an 11 mile kayak across Windermere, a demanding two-lap, 32-mile cycle around Coniston Water, a dramatic whitewater raft through Snowdonia, zoom down the fastest zip line in the world and finish atop Snowdon (Yr Wfddfa). All in just five days.

Both are aware of the pain and suffering these challenges can cause men of their age and physique. Are they crazy? Perhaps, but it’s all for great causes! They’re aiming to raise over £2.5k for En-Fold, a local autism organisation.

En-Fold Autism Support

With an estimated 1 in a 100 people in the UK experiencing autism, getting the right support for families has never been more important, or more difficult.

En-Fold offers an autism support service for adults and families affected by autism spectrum condition (ASC). They aim to reduce isolation and ensure families access the right support for their individual needs.

It's organisations like En-Fold that have been so important in supporting Andy's nephew, Sam, who experiences autism, and helping his family access the right information and local services.

As autism is a spectrum condition, and everyone experiences it in such a unique way, it's local organisations and charities like En-Fold that provide direction, information and advice, as well as practical support, when families need it.

RCN 1180998
We want to ensure that all children, via support to their parents, can access the best services, information and support for them. We also want to ensure all individuals receiving a diagnosis in adulthood, find the right information and support. Our Autism support service provides between 4 and 6 sessions of individually tailored support, exploring what autism is, how to navigate the system, help with benefit applications, and signposting to relevant services. We also have adult social support groups providing safe places across the county for people to meet, reducing isolation and increasing wellbeing. Our parent support group, with family activities offers a safe space for families to come together and realise they are not alone. Activities include days trips such as the zoo, farm, Cadbury's world, space centre etc as well as active activities like water sports, cycling etc. We want to increase our capacity to keep up with the demand for our services. We want to reduce our waiting list to be able to support more families and individuals when they need it most.
