Posted by Alan Day News

We were delighted. 56 people attended the very first Autism Flies event on May 16th, 2023. That was 20 special needs kids and their families. Everybody that came gained some truly useful experience and they all really enjoyed doing so.

 

We had one big regret. Space and time limitations meant that over 500 people had to go on to the waitlist for the next event.
