For 2025, we will only be able to host an in-person event in London, but we plan to make this available for more people on the day. Our Walk 5k this April was very popular this year and we want to ensure that everybody can get involved wherever they live. We also hope to share news of our supporters organising their own walks in their local areas.

Autistic people face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society – in the health and social care systems, in education, in employment, and everywhere in between. It is crucial that autistic people, and their families and carers, can access tailored information, guidance and support to overcome those barriers, along with opportunities to explore their interests, develop skills and build friendships for fulfilled lives.By fundraising for the National Autistic Society, you’ll be directly supporting autistic people and their families. You can read more in our latest impact report.
If you are looking for advice and guidance about autism, we offer a wide range of information on topics such as what is autism, diagnosis, communication, mental health, education, and more.
