Every day can be a challenge for autistic people and their families.
However, every day brings the opportunity to make a positive difference to autistic people's lives.
Please donate to support the work of HOPE for Autism
DonateFundraise for us
Without the continued financial support that HOPE for Autism receives through the wide range of sources that we rely upon, we would not be able to provide the sustained benefit of our services for children and their families.
We are grateful to receive additional financial support through fundraising activities. For example, Just giving, personal donations, fundraising and promotional events, and sponsorship.
JOIN THE TEAM
Getting involved and raising funds for HOPE for Autism makes such a difference and enables us to provide support services to more autistic children and their families
THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA
Facebook and Twitter can all be used to raise funds and donate to our Charity. These can all be used for fundraising campaigns and to promote sponsorship.
FUNDRAISING IDEAS
There are various ways to support our Charity through fundraising. For example, you could take part in our annual HOPE walk, have a bake sale, participate in the Kilt Walk or Tough Mudder, or have a raffle or social event.
Volunteer for us
HOPE for Autism is a Volunteer Friendly organisation. The Volunteer Friendly Award is a quality standard award that is rewarded to organisations to recognise the high standard of work achieved with volunteers. We’ve also recently became members of Volunteer Scotland and Chartered Champions
We provide a diverse range of volunteering opportunities that include working with autistic children and young people and their families to provide practical and emotional support. Our volunteers take part in social groups and sports to support children and other people aged 2 to 25 years.
Additional volunteer opportunities take place within other aspects of our organisation. For example, there are opportunities to complete research and data analysis projects. We work closely with Scottish Universities and Colleges to provide excellent student placements.
help out at our allotment
In 2017 HOPE were delighted to be given two small plots within Whinhall Allotments Association’s grounds located at Park Street, Airdrie ML6 0ES. Through grant funding from Aviva, we were able to purchase and erect a polytunnel at the allotment within one of the small plots approximately 3 x 3 metres. The other plot was cleared to enable our families to and young people to use of for planting seeds and flowers.
Unfortunately, and mainly due to the recent pandemic we have been unable to provide the love and care that our “wee” plot deserves therefore, we have put out a call to all those “green fingered” volunteers to help bring it back to life.
We estimate that it should take no more than 4/5 days to tidy up our plot and “plant” the “seed” of success to allow our wee green space to “Bloom” and “Grow” once again!
“Sow” if you are the next Percy Thrower / Alan Tichmarch or even have no gardening experience we would love for you to sign up and give a couple of hours to help us to HOPEfully create a beautiful wee space for all our members to enjoy now and in the future.
