Membership
Branch membership
Our branch has over 100 members, with an increasing number of professionals and autistic adults represented. All our members receive our group’s newsletter.
Anyone can become a member of our branch and there is no subscription or membership fee. Please complete our membership form or e-mail us at hackney.group@nas.org.uk to receive regular information on:
- Branch activities and events
- Events of interest
- Research, including opportunities to participate in surveys and research
- Consultations for proposed changes in services
Keeping some information regarding the number of autistic people and their families that we support will aid us when we make funding bids. We will store all information we get securely in accordance with the National Autistic Society’s guidelines and the GDPR, and no personal identifying information will be shared.
National charity membership
To become a member of the National Autistic Society, please contact the Supporter Care team on 0808 800 1050, or e-mail: supportercare@nas.org.uk. Becoming a member of the National Autistic Society does not mean you are automatically a member of our group, and we have no personal information about members of the charity who live in our local area.
If you are a member of both the National Autistic Society and our group then you can nominate us as your chosen branch. We then receive a portion of your annual membership fee at no additional cost to you. Please contact Supporter care using the details above to arrange this.
