Well Swung

Take a leap, grab on and swing your way across the water in Tough Mudder’s adrenaline-filled take on the trapeze.

Shawshanked

Crawl your way through the tubes before making a less-than-graceful exit into the water below. Mud and laughter guaranteed.

A Little About Us

About Our Charity

Supported Living

Autism Initiatives provide supported living services to autistic people, supporting people with autism to live life as independently as possible.

Individuals have their own flats, and the reassurance that onsite support is on hand should they need it. When Tim started living in one of our supported living flats he said:

"I found shelter under the Autism Initiatives umbrella. I can look forward to the future now."

Educational Support

Autism Initiatives have autism specialist schools and a college. They provide a specialist environment which is flexible and responsive to children and young people's needs.

Autism Initiatives also provide Educational Support to children in school and at home, providing advice and training to teachers and parents.

"They have provided so much regular and consistent support that my child is experiencing his best year in primary school."

One Stop Shops

In Scotland there are One Stop Shops, where autistic people can access support and advice for everyday life.

Accessing support for everything from form filling to developing friendship groups.

It has been a lifesaver. I have met new people after being isolated for years.
