You can help Autism Anglia in a variety of ways
by volunteering!
There are lots more opportunities to get involved
with the fundraising side of things:
- You could spend a couple of hours collecting at
pre-booked supermarket locations - see the
Collections page
for more details of where collections are being held
this year.
- You could organise your own collection at a suitable
location near you - please contact the Fundraising team
on 01206 577678 for guidance on how to organise this.
- You could man an Autism Anglia information stand at
community events.
- You could hold an event to raise money and awareness
for Autism Anglia! Please see our
Community Fundraising page
for more information.
- You could distribute static collection tins on our
behalf, or even co-ordinate a team of volunteers in
your local area!
Please contact Anna, Claire or Dan in the Fundraising
team on 01206 577678 or email
