Northern Ireland
Welcome to the National Autistic Society NI pages, where you can find updates on our work. We run two specialist autism centres in Carryduff and Randalstown, offering day services for autistic adults with high support needs and a range of evening and weekend programmes for children, adults, and families. Our “Forgotten Voices” campaign highlights the urgent need for better support for those with high support needs and shares stories from families we work with. We hope you enjoy learning about our work.
Introducing our Northern Ireland Vision to Reality Strategy
Guided by the Moonshot Vision plan, our new Vision to Reality strategy 2023-2026 defines the unique role the National Autistic Society Northern Ireland will play in creating a society that works for Autistic people. It outlines the beliefs, ambitions and priorities that will guide our work.
Whether you’re an autistic person, family member or ally, a partner organisation, a staff member or Trustee, a volunteer at your local branch, a committed campaigner or fundraiser – or perhaps several of these – this strategy helps define a set of shared objectives so we can change the world together.
