Prior’s Court is throwing open its gates in April as part of World Autism Acceptance Month (WAAM) 2025 with events held throughout April.

This includes engaging, informative talks from the charity’s experts providing insights about topics in the autism sector, which the wider community is invited to attend.

The talks being held are:

• Our specialist autism approach at Prior’s Court- a few fundamentals that support each autistic young person in understanding the world around them and ensure we address some of the complex needs. – Tuesday, 1 April
• The power of the arts in autism education – Friday, 11 April

Each of these talks is free teo attend. Click the links above to see how to register to attend these events.

We've also got a selection of daring runners taking part in our first international fundraising run! Three supporters will be taking on the Paris Marathon on the 13th April.

• Prior’s Court staff members hosting a pop-up stall on World Autism Acceptance Day itself (April 2), in Parkway Shopping centre
