Autus promotes understanding, inclusion and equal opportunities for individuals within the autistic spectrum
Autus Cumbria.
We are an experienced and dedicated team who’s mission is to provide essential supportive services for those with autism in the South Cumbria area. As a not-for-profit organisation we work with families, youth organisations, schools and employment support agencies to run youth clubs, holiday activity sessions, training of teachers and employment support workers, workshops and seminars.
We run regular holiday activity sessions in the summer, Christmas and Easter holidays based in Barrow and Ulverston (for more information and photos, please look at the ‘Activities’ section above). We are working towards delivering more activities both within school holidays and during term time, and are always exploring ways to fundraise in order to extend our services.
We are very keen to receive feedback as to what families and individuals want and need, so please let us know your thoughts by filling in a questionnaire (available for download on the ‘Questionnaires’ section at the bottom of our page).
