Asperger’s Children and Carers Together (ACCT) delivers group activity sessions that help autistic children and young people in Sheffield to improve their social communication, build positive relationships and better understand and manage their Autism. This 12-month Take ACCTion volunteer development project will develop our existing volunteering, providing additional support to our existing team of volunteers, expanding the types of volunteering opportunity we have available as our activities expand, and improve the skills development support we offer to volunteers, especially to autistic people interested in ACCT volunteering. The funding will pay for additional hours for our Deputy Coordinator time to develop, manage and support the volunteer team (4 hours per week at £14.75/hour for 12 months = £3,068), travel expenses for volunteers (£300), DBS checks (£390 per year) and training for volunteers (£1,000). This project will greatly expand the benefits ACCT support provides, with volunteers able to engage autistic children and young people in activities, helping them improve their social communication and interaction and other life skills, improving ACCT’s capacity to deliver more sessions and support more children and improving the progression routes for autistic young people to build skills and employability through volunteering.

We run weekly activity groups to help children with autism in Sheffield build their confidence, improve their health and make friends.
