Welcome to the Leisure for Autism website.
Here you'll find useful information about our charity, including how to apply for a place on one of our play schemes and what to do if you are interested in working for us.
Our Summer 2011 schemes were once again very popular with 139 children applying for places on our five schemes. To look after the children we had 109 of our wonderful staff who gave up their free time to help.
See the Playschemes pages for more details.
If you would like to work for us in 2012 or would like to register your child then please either contact us , or go to the Application Form section and follow the instructions.

Donations
We estimate that it costs us over £60 to look after one child for one day. For our financial year to October 2011 our accounts show total expenses of £72,556 (compared to £75,639 in 2010).
If you would like to help us by giving a one-off donation then please click here or donate via our Virgin Money Giving page.
Alternatively, you can help us monthly by joining our 100 club
and have the chance one of three monthly prizes of £50.
