Our aspirations for the charity are to provide a range of innovative services that put parents/guardians and families central to everything we do. By providing this support, we hope to improve the emotional resilience and general wellbeing of the parents, guardians, grandmothers, sibling and families which will indirectly enhance the lives of those with Autism.
Drawing upon the unique blend of the parental experience and relevant professional expertise, we aim to create a service offer that enhances the lives of families we work with. We will offer tailored parental support services, respite services and personal growth programmes delivered by parents for parents. The Avalon community will play an active role in supporting each other and they will shape the services available to them.

There is so much information available on the internet about autism today – the good, the bad and the ugly. As a new parent or family member impacted autism, you can spend many hours searching for answers and still come up empty – I know this only too well from personal experience.
To tackle this we want to create a resource library that has been hand selected by our Avalon community of parents, guardians, grandparents, siblings and health professionals. The most useful research and resources they have used to help them navigate their autism journey.
What is more important is our resource library will include useful factual content alongside inspiring stories of hope which are often missing. We are calling all Parents to get in touch to share your most useful resources.
We will be developing strong partnerships with local health clubs, hotels community centres and travel operators to provide short breaks and respite for families. This will include; relaxation breaks, pampering days and short family breaks to help families relax and rejuvenate.
"The work we do at Avalon is about making a difference to the parents, guardians, grandparents and siblings we serve.
My passion and drive comes from personal experience as a mother with a feeling that more could be done to improve the lives of families before, during and after an autism diagnosis.
By improving the lives of families impacted by Autism we will indirectly improve the lives of those children living with autism".
Meet our passionate and dedicated team at Avalon. We work closely with Parents, Families, Partners and Professionals to shape our innovative service offer that meets the needs of families supporting children on the autistic spectrum.
