Story
For those of you that have never been to an AutconK: It is a meet and greet that has taken place in the summer for the past two years in Formby, Merseyside, with the help of Autism Initiatives, who free up their Harington Centre for us for the day. Each year has been a great success and we are looking forward to planning the next this coming summer!
All staff volunteer to help out on the Autcraft server. the same applies the organising and running of Autcon, it's all done voluntarily and without any official funding, we rely upon donations.
On a personal level, Autcraft has been life changing for me and my family. We could not cannot imagine life without it and the many friends that the Autcraft community has brought to us. This is why it's important to keep AutconUK going to give the UK members of Autcraft the opportunity to cement the friendships they have made online in the real world. It helps them take that leap in a safe and friendly atmosphere. They can meet up with other players, admins and srhelpers.
During the day there are activities in the hall, party games, minecraft themed games, outdoor sports and a bouncy castle and also an opportunity to visit the nearby squirrel reserve. Refreshments are also provided, but none of these things could be provided without donations as this is our only source of funding.
So please every penny counts, please, if you can donate as little or as much as you can, you will be donating to something incredible and helping make another 'Amazing Day'
We have increased our target to £1000, with twice the amount of families coming along this year, well this means, in order for the day to be as awesome as last year, we really need twice the amount of funding, so that we can cater for everyone's needs.

6 years agoOur players very much want to get involved in the fundraising themselves, they have decided to build a growing tree. For every donation we receive we will add another branch to the tree. Our players have been given sponsor forms so hopefully our funds will increase making our event just as good as previous years! The image below is the trunk. The kids have worked tirelessly clearing the land, terraforming the island and collecting rescources to build with. It was awesome to see so much great team work and so much enthusiasm from them all.

I am Lisa aka SparkleTwinnie, I have been involved with the Autcraft server a couple of months after my son joined back in 2013. Soon after I was made a SrHelper until eventually AutismFather gave me the responsibility of Admin. This will be the third Autcon I have organised.
