Annual Impact Report 2022
It's been another incredible year
We've welcomed more members than ever before and we have introduced new programmes, as well as building on existing ones
In 2022, we bounced back from the pandemic with renewed purpose and focus, stronger than ever after learning important lessons and establishing new ways of working. We have continued to deliver some virtual services in addition to our in-person sessions, as they have proved a useful and exciting way to reach more people.
Though lockdowns are (fingers crossed) behind us, we faced new challenges with the cost-of-living crisis. Despite this, all of our groups have welcomed more members than ever before and we have introduced new programmes, as well as building on existing ones. We’ve approached new funders and successfully secured grants that have allowed us to expand our services.
Developing ‘a world of possibilities’ for our members and giving them the tools to thrive, remains at the core of our work. Whilst continuing to deliver our Education and Life Skills Programme, Personal Development, Employability and Professional Services, we have worked harder than ever to raise awareness around autism and learning disability in the wider community. This has included educating organisations with our Autism Insights Training; assisting Buckinghamshire Council to create their new all-ages Autism Strategy; working with Central North-West London (CNWL) NHS Trust and Milton Keynes Council to develop a Think Autism programme within Mental Health Services in MK; and producing educational online safety video resources which have been shared nationally.
We hope you enjoy reading about our year in the 2022 Annual Impact Report.
