We'd like to give a huge thank you to Chesterfield FC Coach Gary Roberts, who has stepped in to run the London Marathon for us for a third year! 🏃
Gary stepped in due to the unexpected drop-out of one of our runners this year, which makes the third time he has run for Autism East Midlands.
As April draws near, we wish the best of luck to all our runners who are training tirelessly to raise money for us. Every £1 raised goes a long way to supporting adults, children and families.

Andy's progress to independence ⭐
We're so proud of Andy, who is a resident at one of our Nottinghamshire residential services.
Last year, Andy openly shared with his staff that he wanted to increase his independence, so that he could live in supported living one day.
He's been working so hard with his staff to learn things like when to take his medication or keeping money on his person while he's out-and-about.
Andy said: "I started to carry money with me instead of staff doing this for me. Next thing I want to achieve is to download an online banking app so I can keep my card on me instead of cash."
