Membership development
We are making membership more meaningful together.
We are committed to ensuring that your membership works for you, and we are continually working on improving your membership experience.
Alongside all your current membership benefits, we have launched a new and exclusive series of members’ webinars.
These will focus on a wide range of topics; in August, we held an exclusive Q&A with Royal Chelsea Flower Show garden designers, Sophie Parmenter and Dido Milne. There is plenty more to come so be sure to look out for news of upcoming webinars in members’ regular updates!
We also know just how important connecting with others can be for our members. We are creating more opportunities to share your experiences and hear from like-minded people.
And, we are growing our membership community, to connect more people within our charity. For instance, we are now offering a 10% discount on new memberships for volunteers with our ‘Members and Volunteers’ programme.
There is plenty more to come and there is so much we want to work on with our insightful and valued membership community.
If you have any questions, suggestions or ideas, please don’t hesitate to call on 0808 800 1050 or email membership@nas.org.uk.
How your membership helps
It’s thanks to our valued members that we can help people like Eddie and his mum, Sally, find the answers they need. Your support makes a real difference in their lives, providing the resources and guidance that are so crucial for families navigating the challenges of autism.
Sally had spent years trying to understand Eddie’s behaviour, puzzled by his social isolation and unsure how to support him. The lack of answers left her feeling helpless and desperate for guidance. It wasn’t until she discovered their local National Autistic Society branch that things began to change. Through the support and resources they provided, Sally finally found the information she had been searching for. More importantly, Eddie was able to better understand himself and his identity as an autistic person, which allowed him to begin making sense of his experiences.
“Eddie is now a young adult man who has happiness and confidence I wouldn’t have dared hope for in the early days. The National Autistic Society have helped us every step.”
