💜 Leave a gift that lasts beyond a lifetime

This , we’re inviting you to consider doing something incredible for the future – leaving a gift to Autism Hampshire in your Will.

After remembering the people closest to you, a gift of any size could help us continue creating opportunities, building independence and supporting people to live the lives they choose.

A gift in your Will is more than a donation. It’s a way to carry your kindness and values forward, helping create opportunities for generations to come.

If Autism Hampshire has touched your life, or you simply believe in the future we’re working towards, we’d be incredibly grateful if you considered remembering us.

📣 Your experience can help shape NHS services across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight

Autism Hampshire, in partnership with NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight, is developing a Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG).

The group will give autistic, ADHD and neurodivergent adults the opportunity to share their views, experiences and ideas and help influence NHS services, projects and information.

We want lived experience to be part of the conversation from the beginning, helping shape work as it develops rather than only asking for feedback once decisions have been made.

💬 You don’t need to be an expert. Your own experience and perspective are what matter, and everyone’s experience is different.

There will be different ways to contribute, and we’ll work to make the group as accessible as possible, including reasonable adjustments where needed.

☀️ A Summer Smile Moment!

There’s nothing quite like making the most of a sunny day, and these lovely photos from our service in Hampshire capture just that! 💜

Carlos had great fun putting his aim to the test with a game of giant darts, while Peter and Mary found the perfect way to cool off - enjoying the refreshing water splashing over their feet. Neil enjoyed a friendly game of Jenga in the garden.

It's wonderful to see everyone enjoying the fresh air, spending time together, and making the most of the beautiful weather.
