April is Autism Awareness Month, a time to celebrate autism, raise understanding, and create more inclusive opportunities in our communities. 💙

This year, we’re bringing back our Gaming for Autism Challenge, inviting you to take on 12 hours of gaming, your way. Whether you play solo, with friends, or stream online, it’s a chance to have fun while raising funds to support autistic people and people with learning disabilities through Autism Plus.

We’re also marking World Autism Awareness Day on Thursday 2 April with a special event at our Nook Stop in Doncaster. On the day, we’ll be celebrating new National Lottery funding for the Nook Stop, alongside the launch of our Doncaster SEND Youth Hub programme, helping more young people build confidence, skills, and pathways into employment.

Throughout the month, there are lots of ways to get involved. Our employment services team will be hosting mock interviews, CV workshops, and supporting people to take their next steps towards work. We’ll also be part of the Bridges to Work Expo at Magna, bringing together opportunities, advice, and support in one place.

However you get involved, by gaming, joining an event, or spreading the word, you’re helping to build awareness with us. 🎮💙

🌟 Join us this Autism Awareness Day 🌟

On Thursday 2nd April 2026 we’ll be marking an important moment for Autism Plus here in Doncaster.

We’re celebrating new National Lottery funding for The Nook Stop, helping us grow our sensory space and support more autistic and neurodivergent people in our community.

We’re also launching ConnectAbility: SEND Youth Hub, a new employment support programme for young people aged 18 to 24 with special educational needs or disabilities. The programme offers personalised support to build confidence, develop skills, and take steps towards education, volunteering, or paid employment.

Come along to:
• Visit The Nook Stop
• Meet the team
• Find out more about the support available

We’d love to welcome you and share what’s ahead.

A quick update for this week:
The Nook Stop will be closed on Good Friday, but from mid April we’ll be opening 5 days a week, so keep an eye out for more details coming soon.
