Today is Giving Tuesday – a global day of generosity, and we’re celebrating the many ways you can make a lasting difference for autistic people across Hampshire.

Generosity can take many forms, for example, leaving a gift in your will. We’re proud to have joined Remember A Charity, a network encouraging people to consider leaving a gift in their Will to causes close to their hearts.

Alternatively, make a donation, no matter the size, which will help us continue to keep our Serendipity Community Groups running - safe, welcoming spaces where autistic adults can build friendships, gain confidence and feel part of a community.

Whether you choose to give today or plan a gift for the future, your support creates connection, belonging and opportunity for autistic people across Hampshire.

When art meets heart! 💜 A big thank you to New Forest-based artist and writer Jo Cockwell, who is donating 10% of all sales from her original Inktober illustrations to Autism Hampshire! 🎨

Jo’s beautiful gesture is inspired by the support her family received following her daughter’s autism diagnosis. From clear advice to empowering workshops, Jo describes our team as “kind, practical and consistently helpful.”

Her fundraising is a brilliant example of how creativity can make a real difference - and how personal journeys can inspire powerful change.

Want to own a piece of Jo’s art and support Autism Hampshire at the same time? 🖼️
