Autism affects 1 in 100 people. It affects the way a person communicates and how they see the world around them. Only 29% of autistic people are in work.

Through Marsh McLennan's partnership with Ambitious about Autism, I have grown increasingly passionate about supporting autistic young people, championing their rights, raising awareness and creating opportunities.

This abseil is a huge personal challenge for me, inspired in the knowledge, that every £1 I raise will go towards a flagship employability programme helping autistic young people gain meaningful employment. This programme is crucial in helping them access the workplace, which is vital to independence, self-esteem and wellbeing.

Please donate as much or as little as you can spare - every £1 will make a difference. Thank you! Jo x
