Fever & BFG's Autism Rocks - Hip Hop Event
Fundraising for Autism Rocks
Story
A pay it forward fundraiser!! If you're unfamiliar with the term 'pay it forward' it basically means a random act of kindness, its the concept of selfless giving. Helping others, raising awareness & generally doing something good to help or benefit friends, family & complete strangers.
This fundraiser is for Autism Rocks raising both funds & awareness for/of Autism in the UK & around the world
As a few people have stated that they cannot make the Hip Hop Music Event but would still like to donate where possible, we have set up a just giving page to allow this to happen.
Thank you! Your support is greatly appreciated
What is autism
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability, characterized by difficulties
in the development of social relationships and communication skills
and the presence of unusually strong and narrow interests, and repetitive
behavior. Whilst some individuals are able to live relatively independent
lives; others will require a lifetime of specialist support. To people with autism, the world is often a mass of people, places and events which they struggle to make sense of, and which can cause them significant amount of physical and emotional stress. In particular, understanding, and relating to friends
and family or to taking part in everyday life may be incredibly difficult often leaving
them feeling isolated and alone – instead they wonder why they are ‘different’
All funds raised go to the autism research trust (art). Based at cambridge university, which works to understand the cause and effects of autism. Helping to improve the lives of both children, adults & their families.
