One of the privileges of my role is seeing BeyondAutism from every angle. I see the dedication of our teams, the clarity of our vision, and the ambition that drives everything we do. I also hear the stories from families. These stories remind me exactly why this campaign matters.

When parents talk about our Early Years service, they speak about transformation. Not in grand terms, but in the moments that shift everything. When a child begins to communicate their needs. When a parent finds the strength to advocate. When a family realises they are no longer alone.

Jade talks about the hope of one day having a conversation with her son. Olivia says Early Years became more than a support. It became her lifeline. Nikkie describes how her family found strength in community. These aren’t isolated examples. They are the everyday impact of a service designed to include, not exclude.

We launched this appeal to raise £30,000 this summer. That forms part of the £300,000 we’ll need this year to keep Early Years open and accessible. We’ve made strong progress and are incredibly grateful to those who have already supported us.

Now, with three and a half weeks left, we need to finish what we started.

This campaign sits at the heart of our wider 2030 strategy. BeyondAutism is working to be the name in autism education. Early Years is the first step in that journey. It’s where we see the power of early intervention, of personalised support, of working with families so they feel empoweried from day one.

We are not waiting for change. We are building it.

If you can, please help us get there.
