Train Walk 2012 - Jump on board!
Welcome to The National Autistic Society's Train Walk website!
Everyone loves Thomas & FriendsTM - old and young. Now The Fat Controller needs you! We are looking for Train Walk organisers - people to put on a Train Walk in your local area for your family and friends or even your school, neighbours or community. You don't need any experience and you can tailor a Train Walk to your own family or community - it can be big or small - it's up to you!
And of course, for every £1 raised through a Train Walk, 97p will be spent directly on supporting people with autism and their families. Poke around the tabs and explore, there's so much to see and learn about with this exciting event.

Support through your Train Walk
Together we have raised thousands of pounds to help people with autism across the UK live the lives they choose. Over 500,000 people in the UK have autism. With their families and carers they make up over two million people whose lives are touched by autism every single day. Despite this, autism is still widely misunderstood-which means that many of these two million people get nothing like the level of help, support and understanding they need. Together we are going to change this, thanks to the money you raise with your Train Walk for The National Autistic Society.
