Well, as many people will know, a 21k hike is NOT a Kayleigh thing… but somehow the young people we support have really managed to pull at my heart strings and got me wanting to take part in helping to raise money for this amazing charity I work for.

But who are ‘Prior’s Court Foundation?’

Prior’s Court is a charity dedicated to transforming the lives of autistic young people with complex needs. It can be difficult to know what life is like for the young people at Prior's Court - 85% of the young people we support are non-verbal and therefore are unable to communicate their wants, needs and emotions. On average, young people at Prior's Court have at least four other diagnosable conditions and experience extreme anxiety which psychologically and physically impacts their quality of life. All young people at Prior’s Court have a minimum of one-to-one care.

Places at Prior’s Court are local government funded, this covers the young people’s residential care and learning needs.

What this doesn’t cover is specialist equipment such as a sensory swimming pool, fun days out like a trip to Thorpe Park, tailored facilities such as our residential homes designed with autism in mind, an onsite Countryside Learning Centre, a bakery to learn work skills and the opportunity to have extraordinary experiences.

Prior’s Court is ambitious and strives to provide the best possible care, equipment, facilities and events, and we rely on incredible supporters to make these ambitions become a reality for young people.
