Bristol Autism Support (BAS) is registered charity providing information, support and training for parents and carers of autistic children, diagnosed or undiagnosed, living in BS postcodes. We create a wide range of opportunities for parents and carers of children with autism to connect with each other. Our strong community helps give parents and carers the knowledge needed to help them better support the children they look after. We provide clear, relevant information about autism to parents and carers. By doing so, we hope to improve the futures and outcomes of autistic children. We use this website, our Facebook groups and page as well as email to signpost information about local and national services and support. As much as possible, we share the voices of autistic adults because we know they are best placed to teach us about our children. We provide volunteering and work experience opportunities that enable parents, carers and autistic young people to gain skills and improve confidence. BAS is an independent charity. Any money that we raise or that is donated is spent solely on events, activities or things that will help families affected by autism in Bristol and surrounding areas. We have strong values. Our funding comes from private individual donations and grants. We have a core team of decision makers that runs the organisation.
