Giving adults with autism the chance to turn their dreams to memories by helping them plan therapeutic breaks. This will enable them to experience the holiday memories that many people take for granted.

    Situation

    Our Residential Services care for 48 adults with autism. These individuals need a high level of care and, in the majority of cases, their condition precludes them from employment. The personal allowance that they receive from the benefits agencies is only £22.30. This income needs to cover the costs of clothing, toiletries and items of interest that most of us take for granted (such as CDs, DVDs, magazines and books). They are therefore unable to afford to pay for a break for themselves.

    Solution

    We will use funding to hekp cover the costs of therapeutic breaks that the individuals have planned for themselves.
