Included, Not Excluded – Every autistic learner. Every choice. Every future.

Bringing Light to Early Years – Every gift helps a family breathe a little easier.


One pound. One flame. Many people together.

This winter, BeyondAutism is raising funds to bring light, warmth, and hope to autistic children and their families through our Early Years service, helping each child find their voice and take their first steps towards independence.

We know this has been a difficult year for many households. Rising costs are shaping everyday decisions, and generosity often looks different in moments like this. That reality matters to us.

As this appeal has grown, it has become clear that many people want to take part in a way that reflects the moment we are living in. So we are widening the invitation.

One pound can light one flame. When many people give together, that light spreads.

Light a flame with £1:

Why your support matters

Early Years support often arrives when families feel most in the dark. Calm, specialist help at the right moment can change the course of a child’s life. This campaign reflects that same principle: small, steady acts, shared widely.

It costs £300,000 a year to keep BeyondAutism Early Years running. Your donation today helps cover the real cost of specialist staff, tailored resources and the extra support families rely on so that young autistic children can communicate, regulate and start school with confidence.

Many people are choosing to give £1 as a simple way to be part of this collective effort. Others are able to give more. Every contribution plays its part.

  • £30 helps provide practical resources for families at home.
  • £50 supports learning tools and sensory resources.
  • £100 helps reach more families on our waiting list.
  • £200 covers the full cost of one Early Years session for a family.

Matched Giving

We’re looking for a partner to help match donations for our winter appeal, so every gift shines twice as bright. If you would like to partner us, please get in touch by giving us a call on 020 3031 9705 or emailing fundraising@beyondautism.org.uk. Learn more.

Giving should feel possible. One pound is enough to stand with a child at the very start.
