Walk 5k this April is a sponsored 5k walk that took place during World Autism Acceptance Month in April 2025. You register, get fundraising and complete a 5k walk in April. We encourage you to make this challenge work for you and you can change the distance to suit your needs or ambitions.

We held an in-person event in London on Saturday 5 April 2025. We will only be hosting this in London for 2025. Our Walk 5k this April was very popular this year and we wanted to ensure that everybody can get involved wherever they live.

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.
