Coming soon... Autism Together Awards 2026

In just a few weeks time, we’ll be celebrating our Autism Together Awards for 2026!

Our annual awards night will mark the amazing achievements of our staff and also the businesses who support our charity. This is our third staff awards event and this time we’re heading back to where it all began…

New Brighton’s Floral Pavilion! We don’t want to say too much about what’s in store for the evening, but we can reveal that our host will once again be award-winning radio DJ and event host Leanne Campbell.
