Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I work for JigsawPlus, a charity based in Dunsfold, Surrey supporting adults with autism.   I'm currently working out of their Life Skills Centre in Guildford, teaching them essential life Skills and engaging them to take part in physical activities, such gardening and walking.  

Fred, one our young adult clients lives in Dorking, and very much enjoys the outdoors.  Our Centre in Guildford, is very close to the North Downs Way....and a 12 mile section of the North Downs Way links the two.....So this event was born.

The plan is for Fred, who has communication issues, with me as his guide, to walk the 12 miles between JigsawPlus's Life Skill Centre in Guildford and his home in Dorking, taking in St Martha's Church, Newlands Corner and Denbies Hillside along the way.   It will be just the two of us, a map and a bag of biscuits to keep us company....

All the monies raised from our walk will go directly to JigsawPlus to help support all the other adults clients in our care.

Please give generously,

Andrew and Fred

Difficulty with social relationships • Difficulty with verbal communication • Difficulty with non-verbal communication • Difficulty with play and imagination • Resistance to change in routine

The aims of Jigsaw Trust are to improve the lives of those affected by an autism spectrum disorder and to promote a greater knowledge and understanding of autism.
