At The More You Know Autism Services, we believe in the power of collaboration to make a positive impact on our community. Our partnership with The Richmond Fellowship Charity is a testament to our commitment to supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and their loved ones.
How It Began:
The journey began when The Richmond Fellowship reached out to us, recognising the increasing need for support services for autistic individuals. Motivated by a shared goal of accessibility and creating a safe space, we joined forces to provide education and services to autistic individuals and those who may work with them.
Training Initiatives:
We've had the privilege of offering tailored training sessions to The Richmond Fellowship's employees and managers at the Haven centre in Preston. This collaborative effort aims to enhance the skills and understanding of those directly involved in the care and support of autistic individuals.
Supporting Families:
Our joint endeavour goes beyond professional training. Together, we host a bi-weekly peer support group on Tuesday evenings from 4:30 pm to 6:15 pm. This support group is dedicated to parents and carers of individuals with autism aged 16 and above. It's a space where experiences are shared, and a network of support is built. To find out more, please drop us an email.
Shared Goals:
Our shared goal is to reach more people in need of support and be able to offer individuals support that suits their needs. By leveraging the strengths of both organisations, we gain valuable insights and learn from each other's specialties. This collaboration allows us to provide more comprehensive and effective services to our community.
Future Collaborations:
While we've achieved much together, there's more on the horizon. Our peer support group continues to be a beacon of support for parents and carers. We're committed to ongoing collaboration, supporting each other's missions, and making a lasting difference in the lives of those we have the privilege of working with.
Community-Centric Values:
At The More You Know Autism Services, we’re deeply invested in the well-being of our community. Our partnership with The Richmond Fellowship Charity exemplifies our dedication to supporting charities and community initiatives. Together, we strive to create a community where everyone feels understood, supported, and empowered.
