The link to the appeal will be posted next week, once the campaign is live :) !

As a small charity, appeals like this make a huge difference to our work with autistic young people experiencing burnout, social isolation and ill mental health as a result.

Donate this Christmas to support autistic young people find acceptance and friendship all year round!

3. Raise money for SG by sending Christmas eCards with designs created by young people in our community!

Check out their amazing designs here:

2. This year, we’re very excited to be taking part in the The Big Give, which means for one week all donations made to our appeal will be DOUBLED!
Turn a £5 donation into £10 and help us to reach our £5000 goal!

More details to follow soon!

It's great to see how the server continues to be a space where creativity thrives and friends are made!

Highlights from our Halloween update included:

🎃 A Halloween makeover of the login hub
🧛‍♂️ A Trick or Treat game set around the survival world’s spawn area
🧙 A Halloween-themed Murder Mystery event, with the map now available for young people to enjoy anytime

We're so glad that we've been able to offer something that young people had wanted for a long time and to see how the group is creating opportunities to work together, be creative and make new friends online 💚

The event is really popular with both age groups in SG’s community, with the teen group constantly talking about the campaign and making plans for the next session.

In the campaign, young people become part of an adventurers organisation called the Spectrotopian Guild (check out the Guild’s coat of arms in the first image!)

Ah Caroline!! That's really amazing - thank you!!

Thanks so much Caroline :) !!

...this project would not have been possible without all their support 💚 !

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the creation of the Barriers to Education website. Over 1,500 people contributed including young people, parents and carers, professionals across education, health and social care, researchers...

At its heart is the WARMTH Framework, alongside a growing library of tools, strategies and case studies that show what’s possible when we focus on understanding needs and creating conditions where young people feel safe, valued and able to thrive.

REMINDER:

CORRELATION ≠ CAUSATION.

Thank you @pebbleautism.bsky.social for sharing our Autism Understood website (and for including us in such awesome company!)
