Welcome to the Leisure for Autism website.
Here you'll find useful information about our charity, including how to apply for a place on one of our play schemes and what to do if you are interested in working for us.
Our Summer 2011 schemes were once again very popular with 139 children applying for places on our five schemes. To look after the children we had 109 of our wonderful staff who gave up their free time to help.
See the Playschemes pages for more details.
If you would like to work for us next year or would like to register your child for next year then please contact us.
Donations
We estimate that it costs us over £60 to look after one child for one day. For our financial year to October 2011 our accounts show total expenses of £72,556 (compared to £75,639 in 2010).
If you would like to help us by giving a one-off donation then please click here. Alternatively, you can help us monthly by joining our 100 club and have the chance one of three monthly prizes of £50.
