About Thomas & Friends

Many children with autism have a particular love of Thomas & Friends™. Recent research revealed that many parents felt that the characters played a significant role in their child's early learning and development. For children who may have little or no understanding of emotions, body language and facial expressions, the bright colours and clear facial expressions make the characters easy to identify and relate to.

Our partnership with Thomas & Friends™ to theme this family-fun sponsored walk to raise money for autism is therefore highly fitting.

What’s more we’re delighted that this year’s Train Walks will be helping to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of Thomas & Friends™. To find out more about Thomas & Friends™ visit www.thomasandfriends.com
