Fighting for Neurodiversity, One Round at a Time

Aaron Griffiths is raising money for En-Fold Autism support

UWCB Northampton 19th July 2025 · 19 July 2025 ·

We want to ensure that all children, via support to their parents, can access the best services, information and support for them. We also want to ensure all individuals receiving a diagnosis in adulthood, find the right information and support. Our Autism support service provides between 4 and 6 sessions of individually tailored support, exploring what autism is, how to navigate the system, help with benefit applications, and signposting to relevant services. We also have adult social support groups providing safe places across the county for people to meet, reducing isolation and increasing wellbeing. Our parent support group, with family activities offers a safe space for families to come together and realise they are not alone. Activities include days trips such as the zoo, farm, Cadbury's world, space centre etc as well as active activities like water sports, cycling etc. We want to increase our capacity to keep up with the demand for our services. We want to reduce our waiting list to be able to support more families and individuals when they need it most.

Story

I'm taking on the challenge of Ultra White Collar Boxing to raise money for En-Fold, a Northamptonshire based charity offering vital support to families navigating the autism assessment and diagnosis journey.

My son was diagnosed with autism at age 3, and I was diagnosed as neurodivergent at 32. The road to diagnosis is often overwhelming, confusing, and isolating—for both children and adults.

Over 212,000 people in the UK are waiting for an autism assessment—that’s a 23% rise in the last year alone, and an 82% rise since 2023 (National Autistic Society, 2025).

Behind each number is a family needing help, guidance, and advocacy.

That’s where En-Fold come in. They provide free support services to individuals and families in Northamptonshire, helping them understand autism, access resources, and feel less alone. But their ability to offer this help depends entirely on donations.

By supporting this fundraiser, you're helping En-Fold continue their incredible work and making a real difference for families who might otherwise fall through the cracks. Thank you :)
