Super 7 Autism Awareness

Hi all,


As some of you know I have the privilege of helping with an open-age football league for adults with learning difficulties and autism called the SYACL and with a disability service provision in Rotherham called Social Eyes.


This week ahead  is World Autism Awareness Week so I’ll be running 7k cycling 7k and walking 7k for Social Eyes.

The 7 represents the fact that 1 in 100 folk in the UK  has some form of autism – 700,000 people.


You can check Social Eyes out at www.socialeyesrotherham.co.uk 

and the SYACL at www.southyorkshireabilitycountsleague.com

If you can support this fantastic group by sponsoring me that would be great, but if you can’t just give me some words of encouragement! 

best wishes and thankyou, Colin

A visit to Wentworth Garden Centre

A busy end to the week at both hubs with outdoor tidying and painting up at Harding followed by a visit to Wentworth Garden Centre. A quick visit to Keepmoat Stadium and more deliveries to homebound friends.

This coming week it is World Autism Awareness Week, 29th March – 4th April, and we will be featuring activities during the week.

The coronavirus pandemic has been particularly tough for many autistic people and their families. Services have closed and many people have been left stranded. The ever-changing guidelines and restrictions can be confusing to understand and extremely difficult to implement for autistic people with high support needs.
