It is a big day at SGHQ tomorrow 🙌

We’re welcoming over 30 professionals through the doors to be part of something we’re really proud of.

After the success of the Autism Understood website, we have taken it further by running 6-week courses for autistic young people focused on understanding autism - and it has been so nice to hear about the impact it has had on young people.

Here’s just a bit of what young people and families have told us:

💬 “I have been taught how to tell people my needs in a positive way so I will do that in the future”
💬 “I've made a couple of friends and I look at autistic people a little differently (in a good way).”
💬 “It’s improved at school with him talking more freely to staff about what is bothering him.”

Today, we’re taking that one step further and delivering a course for facilitators - so they can go out and run this in their own settings, reaching even more young people. We have some awesome people joining us and it is very exciting!

Attendees don't know yet, but they will get some freebies, and there are a couple we are particularly excited about:
📘 An 83-page Companion Book we’ve created to go alongside the course
📗 A copy of What Do You Love Most About Life? by @autisticnotweird featuring reflections from 150 autistic people (including Andy from SG!).

Chris' book is one of our favourite, and we can’t wait for everyone to receive it ❤️

A huge thanks to all who have supported our Big Give appeal so far and helped us to raise £3442 in just one day!! We're so grateful for all the support received so far!

There's still plenty of funds left in our matched funded pot, meaning that donations made will still be DOUBLED! We're hoping to raise £5000 overall to support areas of our work that are unfunded but vital to support us in being a charity that is here for autistic young people for years to come!

We wanted to share a quick video to celebrate the powerful impact your donations to 2024's end of year appeal had on the lives of the young people in the SG community.

Give the gift of community, friendships and happiness to autistic young people this Christmas: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS0000063b2pYAA by @spectrum0gaming

Over the past year, our digital youth workers have expanded the variety of online events they host for young people, making sure a broad range of interests are covered and staying responsive to activities that young people enjoy.

In our next online event spotlight, we’re highlighting our Trivia Bot online event, hosted by Bee!

During the event, young people can take part in fun quizzes on topics like logos, general knowledge, and flags. Different communication preferences are supported, with some joining via voice call and others through text chat.

Bee launched the event three months ago after noticing that a few young people regularly played Trivia Bot but often had to play alone because no one else was around to play with.
By creating a scheduled event based on young people’s interests, Bee has made sure there’s now a regular time where multiple people can play together, have fun, and connect with others - a boost to both their happiness and wellbeing!
