What we hope to achieve

How Train Walk will make a difference

The money raised from the Train Walk will help to support our local NAS Branches and to provide local services to people affected by autism. Your involvement in the Train Walk will also raise awareness and encourage people to think differently about autism.

Autism is a serious, lifelong and disabling condition.

People with autism can find it incredibly hard to make sense of the world. Everyday life can be confusing, meaningless or even frightening. Understanding and communicating with other people is particularly difficult – which can leave people very isolated. Without the right support, autism can have a profound – sometimes devastating – effect on individuals and families.

1 in 100 people in the UK have autism. Together with their families they make up over two million people whose lives are touched by autism every day.

Despite this, autism is still relatively unknown and 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.
