Welcome to Tunstall’s Great North Swim Fundraising Page!

Tunstall is one of the residential children’s homes run by the North East Autism Society. Here, our dedicated team creates a warm, supportive ‘home from home’ environment for four children who are autistic or have complex additional needs.

Empowering autistic children and young people to live happy, healthy, and fulfilled lives is at the heart of everything we do. Our 24-hour, bespoke support services are tailored to the individual needs of each child in our care, ensuring they thrive in a setting that truly understands them.

This year, we’ve set ourselves a big goal—to give the children an unforgettable holiday experience and invest in some fantastic new sensory equipment. It’s a challenge, but one we’re excited to take on together through a full calendar of fundraising events!

Taking four children and their support staff on holiday requires significant resources, but we believe these amazing young people deserve every moment of joy and discovery. That’s where your support makes a world of difference.

Rae and Alex are participating in the Great North Swim! This is a 1 mile open water swimming event in lake Windermere on the 13th June.

Thank you so much for visiting our JustGiving page. Whether you’re able to donate, attend an event, or simply help spread the word, your support means the world to us—and to the children we care for.
