ENGAGEMENT AND LOYALTY AWARDS WINNER
At a grand ceremony in The Millennium Hotel, Mayfair, London on 30 April 2015, Action for Asperger’s won the Award for the best engagement project in the not-for-profit sector for our use of technology in the therapeutic setting; transforming lives affected by autism.
After years of behind-the-scenes working, we are delighted to have our work recognised this way, and hope that such recognition will encourage potential funders to come forward to help us to take our award-winning work upwards and onwards.
AfA is also Charity of the Year 2015/16 for BNI Synergy, Peterborough. We are proud and pleased to have been nominated by this BNI chapter.
******In December 2014 we received the great news that we had been selected by The Yorkshire Building Society to receive £10,000 to develop our service further. This was marvellous news, and with this income we will be buying diagnostic equipment and a specialist sensory trolley that will be used in conjunction with our counselling work.
