World Autism Acceptance Week

World Autism Acceptance Week is the week that we celebrate autism acceptance and encourage people across the country to raise money to support the work we do. The date for 2024 has not been announced yet but is usually around the end of March/start of April. We would love to have your student fundraising group join us next year so email studentfundraising@nas.org.uk if you want to be the first to hear any details.
