Hart and Rushmoor Branch of the National Autistic Society

www.think-differently.org.uk
The NAS has launched its latest
campaign to try and encourage the
public to think differently about autism
through sharing the experiences of
people affected by the condition.
Please take a look at the site and sign
the petition which calls on the UK
Government to join us in our efforts to
raise awareness and to demonstrate a
commitment to promote the rights of
people living with autism by ratifying
the UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities.

about how a person with autism can
see the world around them.

In the News again!
We've been in the paper plenty of
times recently, click here to see

Huge thanks....
We would like to say a huge thanks
to the following people and groups
for their fantastically generous
donations to the branch:
- The Lions Club of Fleet for the
money towards the Summer holiday
activities.
- The Hart District Council Chairman's
charity for a sizeable donation for
the branch to use as we see fit.
- The Clarke family for their much
appreciated donations.

Donkey Derby raffle prizes
Although the derby was cancelled
due to the awful weather conditions,
we still received some fantastic
raffle prizes from local businesses
and we would like to thank them:
- Alpine Snowsports Aldershot.
- Farnborough Leisure Centre.
- Tesco at Willems Park.
Thank you all, they really are
appreciated and will be put to good
use (when the weather allows it!)
