Autism Wessex 50th Birthday Party

Event description: Autism Wessex first started in a garden shed in 1968. Since then we have expanded our reach to include the counties of Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Wiltshire. In honour of our 50 years of hard work and dedication, we will be hosting a fundraising event at our specialist school site, Portfield School. The event is open from 14:30-17:30, and we will have arts and craft stalls, food, drinks, games and competition, and music! We will also have a raffle and tombola, with the opportunity for you to win special prizes, including tickets for leisure centres, museums and cinemas. We are expecting many on the day so come join us on this fun, family friendly Saturday afternoon!

Autism Wessex background: Autism Wessex is a charity based in Dorset that works for and with individuals affected by autism and related impairments. We offer our help in three major ways: a specialist school site at Portfield School, Christchurch, with children aged 3-19. Second, we offer advice services throughout south-eastern England. Last, we have workers going into communities and helping out individuals from their homes. In this manner, we have expanded our reach over the years, and want to continue doing so. In our vision, individuals affected by autism and related impairments are able to achieve a good quality of life and a degree of independence.

Ticket details: Tickets are available online or on the door. Prices are £2 for an individual ticket, £5 for a family ticket.
