Welcome to Special, the charity which aims to provide families who have children with Autism the freedom to use the treamtment they see best. Most treatments can be costly for the average family, from buying equipment, employing workers and giving up employment to help their children. For some, this is not financially possible, which then does not allow for the best start in life for the child. Where all other avenues have been exhausted, Special is here to help.

'Special' fundraise constantly to give families grants to help them in their chosen treatment. All our events are open to the public and all money goes to those who need it. Our team is built purely from volunteers. With no wages to cover or premises rent, you can be guarenteed you truely are helping with your donations and support.

Autism is a highly complex condition that can be hard, but also an amazing journey for all families. Special want to give each family the confidence and support to do the best job possible and enjoy the time with their children.
