As part of her midlife crisis & bucket list Mandy signed herself up for a few personal chanllenges to help raise funds for the Triple A Project who make a positive difference to the lives of adults living with Autism. She's now roped in friends Tamla Jefferson & Paula Younger to take part in the challenge & try to raise as much as possible for a very worthy cause.

On 21st October 2017 we will be taking part in the Manchester Rough Runner Obsticle course. Please sponsor us whatever you can afford & help us through this huge personal challenge. Heres a taste of what what we'll be doing & where funds raised will be spent.

Thank you in advance x

The challenge!!

THE TRIPLE A PROJECT

Triple A Project has developed and introduced autism specific interventions and support for individuals who are at risk of or have become in contact with the criminal justice system.

Socialeyes

Socialeyes is a social skills learning resource that the National Autistic Society developed with and for autistic individuals

does not ask people on the autism spectrum to change ‘inappropriate’ social behaviour, or to acquire social skills by copying the ‘typical’ behaviour of others. Instead, it gives people the option of learning social interaction skills or alternative social strategies

The Navigator Programme

Triple A Project Navigator Programme was devised as a result of listening to the issues and challenges faced by many individuals. A Navigator is a hybrid of mentor, advocate, befriender and is matched with an autistic adult who is either at risk or, or engaged with criminal justice sytem. The aim is to steer and support individuals towards a safe and positive life; building on strengths and navigating a path towards identified goals.

Positive Pals

Positive Pals is being created to provide a safe, social environment to make and sustain friendships. This will operate physically and virtually around the county of

Cumbria. Positive Pals will enable and encourage safe and natural friendships to develop and to tackle isolation without the threat of mate-crime.

Consultation and development underway – if you would like to be involved with this or would like to find out more, please contact Triple A Project for more information.
