Equipment for one child
Their own ear defenders, a weighted lap pad, and the fidget items they choose themselves, kept in a named box so it is there every week.
Support us
Sessions are free because people like you pay for them.
We charge families nothing, so almost everything we do runs on small regular gifts, donated rooms and volunteered hours. Give whatever amount suits you, or nothing at all and help another way.
Give monthly
Regular gifts are what let us hold a place open.
A one-off donation is genuinely welcome, but a standing order is what lets us tell a family their place is safe next term.
A quiet room, off-peak
Room hire is our largest line. A regular gift covers the hours we book when halls are empty and the corridors are silent.
A place held open
This is the gift that lets us say “come back when you are ready” to a family who needs to pause, and actually mean it.
We do not use a fundraising agency, we will not pass your details to anyone, and we will not call you to ask for more.
Where donations go
Almost three quarters of what we receive pays a practitioner to be in the room.
We have no fundraising agency and no paid advertising. We publish what we raise and how we spend it, and we will always tell you what we got wrong alongside what worked.

Other ways to help
Money is not the only thing we are short of.
Volunteer a few hours a term
Setting up rooms, sitting with siblings, helping families find us. Autistic volunteers are especially welcome, and we will fit the role around what you can actually do rather than handing you a fixed rota.
Lend us a quiet room
Low-stimulation space is our single biggest constraint. If you run a gym, studio or clinic with off-peak hours going spare, that is worth more to us than a check.
Fundraise on your own terms
No minimum target and no branded t-shirt unless you want one. Tell us what you are planning and we will send you the numbers you need to explain where the money goes.
Leave a gift in your will
A legacy is what lets us plan past the current funding year. We are happy to talk it through with no expectation and no follow-up calls.
