During World Autism Acceptance Week, the dedicated Kids Planet SEND team and Kids Planet Middlewich team took part in the Spectrum Night Walk to raise money for the National Autistic Society

The Kids Planet SEND team (Becky, Rachael and Lauren) massively exceeded their target of £100, raising over £750. “We want to help change attitudes, to transform lives and create a society that works for autistic people.

“Being part of the SEND team at Kids Planet, we work with children and families with autism daily, and know that the huge support, guidance and advice from the NAS makes a huge difference.” You can show your support here.

And Kids Planet Middlewich nursery raised over £1000, with several members of staff getting their steps in and walking the 10km to support Pam, a practitioner at the nursery whose son Henry was diagnosed with autism in January 2020.

Pam’s son, 8-year-old Henry, has been supported at nursery through an emotional journey towards and following his diagnosis, and is now developing confidence and gaining support. This is something invaluable to the whole family, who have had to adjust their lives to support their brother and son. You can show your support here.
