Our Supporters
The Autism Trusts focus is on building an inspiring, sustainable and real future for the many children with autism in the UK today.
We have already received very generous pro bono support from:
Ian Caulder of Caulder Moore in developing our great new corporate identity
Philip Benton and Nick Atherton at Wave Group
HSBC, our banking partners.
Nigel Jackson at Dunbar Bank
Martin Ayling of Sky
Many thanks to all involved in each of these organisations.
As well specific support from:
Sir Steve Redgrave:
"During my rowing career I learned how to focus and be single-minded in order to achieve my goals. The narrow focus that so many people with autism have is just another example of how different people operate in our diverse world. I think The Autism Trust does excellent work in helping to create safe and supportive environments, and provide positive futures for the growing number of children with autism today - and in so doing enables each of them to fulfill their potential.
Ray Winstone:
"As an actor I have learned the importance of being able to express myself in different roles and guises and to enjoy the impact this has on other people. I am undoubtedly an extrovert! However it is often hard for many of us to understand or even conceive the challenges faced by people with autism because it can be so different and hard for many sufferers to communicate effectively. I am supporting The Autism Trust because the team are trying to address this issue for the many children with autism out there today. By creating a new model community with specialist expert support for those that need it, they will enable these kids to grow up, develop to their full potential and enjoy life with the support of their families as much as the rest of us."
