... [more] [less]What your organisation does
We are a recently formed group of parents, carers and services users. We meet on a monthly basis and are currently developing promotional material, eg. logo, website and flyers. Our main project at present is the development of an outdoor space at The Acorns Centre for Autism. This will be a unique ASD friendly environment, the first of it's
kind, and will be accessible to everyone. In order to acheive this, we will need to source what funding opportunities are available.
