Bristol Autism Support accepts cheque from National Friendly
Bristol Autism Support, a local charity dedicated to aiding parents and carers of autistic children, received a substantial donation of over £10,000 from National Friendly as part of their charity fundraising efforts for the year 2023-24.
The culmination of a year long partnership, Bristol Autism Support representatives visited the National Friendly offices to accept the symbolic cheque and express their gratitude for the generous contribution. Joined by National Friendly colleagues, the event marked a significant moment in their ongoing support for the vital work of Bristol Autism Support.
Since May 2023, National Friendly has organised various fundraising activities, including bake sales, a 100km challenge and quiz nights, all aimed at rallying support and financial assistance for Bristol Autism Support. The successful outcome, surpassing the £10,000 milestone, underscores the commitment of National Friendly and its employees to make a positive impact on their community.
Established in 2012, Bristol Autism Support has been instrumental in fostering a supportive network for parents of autistic children, providing them with essential information, support, and opportunities for connection. The funds raised by National Friendly will enable Bristol Autism Support to continue expanding its range of services and initiatives, ensuring that parents and carers have access to the resources they need.
Looking ahead, National Friendly is set to announce its charity of the year for 2024-25, continuing its tradition of giving back to the community and supporting organisations that make a meaningful difference.
