Join the fun

Our fundraisers are inspiring. They are walking, running, baking and cycling to raise funds to provide equipment, training and support for autistic people to achieve their potential every single day.

You can get involved with one of our official events, organise your own fundraising activity, or simply support somebody participating.

We have a fab fundraising portal full of all the information, support and resources you need to join in the fun!

Check out our fundraising promise to learn more about how money raised is used.

Run for Autism is a fundraising challenge to run 40K in the month of October. 

Maybe you are a regular runner looking for your next big challenge? – you could take it on in one day, 25 miles -Wow!  Or perhaps you are the perfect park runner looking to stretch yourself to 10km a week, or maybe you are a complete beginner and you wish to combine this challenge with your couch to 5K.

Whatever kind of runner you are – Run for Autism is for you!

When you raise £20 we’ll even send you a fantastic Run for Autism running top.  We can’t wait to see you wearing it with pride.

The money raised funds amazing autism specific projects around the UK delivered by Autism Initiatives Group.

More about the One Stop Shops from those who use them:

“It’s given me confidence, understanding and support when I’ve been really struggling; and provided a safe, calm, relaxed space to enjoy all year round”

“The opportunity to access a neuro-affirmative space and create shared narratives of neuro-positivity has been a life-saver for me.”

“It allows me to connect with other autistic adults so that I feel less alone”
