Main information
Type of service: Play and leisure
Active Autism was established in 2008 and provides both multi-skill and football activity to young people with autism between the ages of 5-16 years. The Active Autism programme provides regular weekend activity for young people with autism and has seen increased levels of confidence, social interaction, concentration and health in the participants since its foundation. The project has seen the creation of the “Fulham Autistic Boys” team (FAB) who participate monthly in the Surrey Primary League, a disability specific league delivered by the Surrey Football Association (FA). FAB currently runs two sides, an under 12’s team and an under 16’s, which provide additional experiences to the young people, including teamwork, leadership and communication. Volunteers may be accepted to work with the pupils, but they have to be formally inducted through our volunteering programme and then placed with a paid member of staff on programmes.
