Calling all creatives! 🎉
We're inviting artists, makers, craftspeople and entrepreneurs in the autistic community to join us on Zoom for our research on upcoming creative spaces. 🎨
This is an incredible opportunity to shape the future for autistic artists and creators, allowing them to have spaces where they feel supported.
Creating art doesn't always work in a board room. ❌
Like people, it has no fixed methods.
It can be anything: fashion, glass-blowing, sculptures, watercolours, anything! 💃
Empowering autistic voices within our communities has always been a central part of why we do what we do. Now, we want to support artists to feel empowered to be the artist they were born to be, doing what they love to do.
Leave your ideas/comments below, or join us on Zoom on 15 October at 6pm.

Last month, we shared our Old Fire Station runner-up in our sunflower contest. 🌻
The goal was to see which service could grow the largest sunflower - and we had some fantastic entries from our services!
Pictured is our grand winner, our Whitegates sunflower which measured at a staggeringly tall 103 inches, equal to roughly 8ft 7 in!
Well done all services that took part. 💖
