Lucy Roberjot, Telford Autism Hub Senior Manager said: “This Autism Awareness Week, we come together to raise understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals and families in the autism community. It’s a time to celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives of people on the autism spectrum, while also recognising the challenges they may face.“
“Awareness leads to acceptance, and acceptance fosters inclusion. Whether it’s taking time to learn more about autism, listening to the experiences of those affected, or advocating for greater understanding, every action makes a difference. “
“Together, let’s create a world where everyone feels seen, valued, and included—not just this week, but every day. For further information come and visit our stand at Telford Centre.“
Katie Broome, Marketing Manager at Telford Centre said: “We’re very please to have Telford Autism Hub with us to shine a light on Autism Acceptance Week. We’ve worked with the Hub for a number of years now and their commitment to supporting the autism community is outstanding. Autism Acceptance Week is a wonderful opportunity to help raise awareness of their services and the support they can provide.“
