The National Autistic Society was founded in 1962 as a small group of friends who were frustrated at the lack of understanding and help available for us and our children. Since then, the NAS has grown into the UK’s leading autism charity but our vision remains the same: a world where all people living with autism get to lead the life they choose.

The Stafford Branch was launched in March 2001, covers Stafford and its immediate area and is run entirely by volunteers. Our activities are wholly funded by donations from our local community and our members’ fundraising activities.
