I joined the A World though my local council web page. It is an absolutely fantastic charity and has helped us immensely. Having a son who is autistic can be overwhelming as it can be hard to go places. The days out have been wonderful my son loves them and there’s no judgement which often happens when going places. The charity shops are brilliant and we often visit the one in Leigh which is run by Shelley. It’s opened up a new life for us really. Abigail Hartley-Watson

A great day out at Eureka, really well organised, a lot less people than a usual day out which we found really helpful. My boys really enjoyed themselves :)

we recently went to the A World Gullivers day which was such an amazing day without such places as these my children would struggle in large settings so to be able to attend these kinds of events so that our children can experience being a child without it being to much for them it means so much to families thank you so much for all the amazing work you do i know that us as a family would not be able to go places like these on normal days we have so many good memories to look back on and it also means are children can feel valued and not left out

We look forward to every A World event. By being a member of the A World community we have access to places we would never dream of attending on a “standard” day. The reduced numbers at Eureka! made the whole day so accessible and enjoyable without the usual stress and pressures of a crowded place. All my children are free to be themselves without judgment and as parents it’s so freeing to be out as a family without unnecessary stress. The A World staff are always so helpful, event staff can’t do enough for you and the photographer Harley is just so lovely and we have some of our best family photos from A World events thanks to him. I cannot recommend the A World enough to other families like mine.

We have been on a few trips now, my daughter loves the dino den in gullivers world, we would never be able to attend on a regular day so we get to experience a lovely day with no stress.

We went with The A World to Land of lights at Gulliver's World. The A World have made it easier to have family time at Autism take over events for our family we have two children with additional needs. These events have been amazing an we don't have to worry about being judged for our children to be themselves or even ourselves. We're looking forward to future events. We are so lucky to have The A World as it's such a amazing Charity, they take of all the stress us parents & carers have on these lovely days out. We are so happy & lucky to be able to go to these events.

Our first time at Eureka, but whether it's somewhere new or somewhere we know well such as Gullivers, The A World makes everyone feel safe. From pre arrival information such as social stories and everything a parent could need to know, to always having the same familiar photographer at events, everything is well planned. Days out with autism and anxiety can be stressful or just not happen. The A World make sure wherever we go is a safe space. We know our children can be themselves and no one will bat an eyelid. They may even make a friend! My boys all wanted to go back the next day, so that's high praise from them.

To be able to have a day out or a break away as a family without the worry of outside judgement is something that cannot be valued highly enough. Just a day to feel like a regular family. We've done Eureka and Gullivers twice with the A World now and can't wait to do it again 🙂

We have attended multiple events and benefited from a funded holiday with the a world. When i saw these events are a lifeline for us i mean it. We have 3 autistics children along with myself also having autism and these events meam we can finally do things as a family without judgement and without overload. The reduced capacity and lack of excessive stimulants ensure for a calmer easier time than during standard hours. We have avoided multiple trips out to places to avoid judgement and meltdowns due to over stimulated kids but the A world have given us the freedom to give our family normal experiences. We hadnt been away for over 6 years by the time we received a funded holiday and although we only lasted 2 nights out of the 3 booked due to the kids inability to sleep somewhere other than home it was nice to finally get away.

The a world, are one of a kind and go above & beyond for people with autism my daughter and family have had wonderful days out provided through this company & we have also raised money and donated to this amazing charity as our daughter has autism & this charity is special to us ❤️
