Cause Partnership with The National Autistic Society.
Day For Autism:
With support from Vodafone, a major NAS awareness day will be held on Sunday 25 September 2005 in Leicester Square, London.
Day for Autism is the first of its kind in the UK and has been organised by The National Autistic Society, to raise awareness and understanding of autism (including Asperger syndrome) and to celebrate the many achievements of the estimated 535,000 people with autism in the UK. The event will be attended by families affected by autism as well as the general public. It is hoped that the fun and inclusive setting will encourage learning, acceptance and understanding.
The day will draw inspiration from the many and varied talents of people with autism featuring art, craft and photography exhibitions, street performers, a live art demonstration and 'soft play' areas for younger children. In addition, a comprehensive programme of stage performers will run throughout the afternoon with acts as diverse as a steel band, an ambient jazz string quartet, and short plays from students of the NAS Sybil Elgar School.
