Fundraising

How you can help

As a charity that receives no government funding, we rely on donations from our generous supporters and funding from businesses, charitable trusts, and philanthropists. From monthly donations to corporate partnerships, organising a fundraising event to payroll giving, there are so many ways you can make a difference. With your support we can work together to develop evidence from research and autistic people, evidence that can’t be ignored. Evidence to make real change.

There are so many more ways you could help

Run a marathon, take part in a challenge or organise your own event. Whatever you want to do, if you chose to fundraise for us, we’re here to support you.

Give as you Live is an easy way to support autistic people while shopping online. It’s free to use and has over 6,000 participating shops, from grocery shopping and travel bookings, to clothing and gifts. 

Setting up a Facebook fundraiser is a free and simple way to harness the support of your online community. 

Learn how to create a charity fundraiser on Facebook.

Set up Payroll giving

Payroll giving is one of the easiest ways to make a regular donation. Donations are deducted before tax, so every £1 you give will only cost you 80p (even less if you’re a higher rate taxpayer!).

Find out more and speak to your HR department about setting up a regular gift though your salary. 

Do you have a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or special occasion coming up? Why not celebrate by asking people to donate to charity instead of buying a gift.

Set up a Justgiving page to make it quick and easy for your friends and family.
