Autism Plus

Autism Plus, a charity established in 1986 adds value to lives through specialised care and support for adults and young people with autism, neurodiverse conditions, learning disabilities and mental health conditions. The charity runs social enterprises, supported living options, provides training services, employment support and work experience opportunities. Autism Plus empowers neurodiverse adults and young people with disabilities to lead independent lives with choice at the heart of everything they do. Offering adults and young people a choice in where to live, who to live with (or not), the chance to work or learn new skills, support to develop relationships and friendships, and live fulfilling and rewarding lives.

Good Fundraising carried out a fundraising review and feasibility study for Autism Plus for the potential £5 million pound development work of their Park House Barns site. The study provided Autism Plus with a targeted look at the funding landscape, consulted with all stakeholders, provided a list of funding prospects, showed the gifting pyramid for different levels of investment and highlighted risks. Our work helped to shape board decisions.
