Written by the company

The A World UK CIC is a non-profit organisation supporting the autistic community across the North of England. The A World UK receives no funding from outside sources, we rely solely on the generous donations of pre-loved items and the money donations from members of the public. The funds raised via the community stores and the text to donate service are used to by The A World UK to provide services to the autistic community and their families. Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, we are proud to state that we support individuals of all ages. Unfortunately, far too many support abruptly stops when an individual reaches the age of 25, we understand and recognise that the individual will still require support regardless of their age!  Our aim is to help and support the Autistic Community through providing a variety of services, we currently offer funded holidays*, horse-riding sessions, and many more inclusive events which are held throughout the year.

The Awesome A World

We had our theme park trip with the A World last year and saw for the first time how wonderful it was for our son to be with his ‘tribe’ - he was instantly so relaxed and was his true self, a joy to see. A wonderful charity, so glad to have found you.

Amazing day at Eureka

We recently took our 2 disabled boys to Eureka museum with the A World and we had an amazing day. We have been to other A World events like Gullivers and they are always super chilled and super organised and we always have loads of fun. Thanks A World and keep doing what you do!!

Making dreams come true

The A World has changed our family life. We can now enjoy days out with my autistic son without fear of being judged and being with families like ourselves. The takeover days are fantastic and we have recently stayed in a caravan at Marton Mere which was a funded holiday. The caravan and site as fantastic and it was all funded by The A World. I cannot thank you enough for all you do and I hope to raise money in the near future for the A World so my family and I can give back. Thank you A World, keep being amazing :-)

Gulliver’s World

We took our 3 year old son to Gulliver’s World last year with The A World. It was his first time experiencing a theme park and he had a great time. It was so lovely to be able to take him somewhere where we didn’t have to worry if he became upset or overwhelmed and he had the opportunity to enjoy the rides at his own pace. It was just after the birth of our other son so this was a nice treat for becoming a big brother!

They really understand...

They really understand the autistic experience. The environment created in these special events is welcoming, non judgemental and fun. The process of getting tickets is fair for all eligible. I've never known another company like it!

Great opportunities

The A world are so amazing at giving our sen children experiences that in everyday life they would struggle with, being around other parents and children who struggle with the same things in life as us, makes the experience better. No funny looks, no snide comments, no judgement, its one sen community coming together and enjoying things together. It's heartwarming and can't thank them enough for all they do.

Being part of the A world family has meant we have been able to enjoy days out without judgement of others my son has been able to be himself and see others be carefree. The minute he steps into one of your organised events I can feel the weight lift off his shoulders. The calmness of them all is what makes the days so special. We have been extremely lucky to be included in some amazing day outs 💗

The A World giving fun filled memories to families with additional needs kids ❤️

The special events hosted by The A World can be a highlight for any family with additional needs children. I have two kids with additional needs and I always enjoy the special day to Gullivers World with them. There is no judgement all families understand the struggle.
The events arranged by A World is not only fun for children but a relaxed and fun filled family event.
We as a family always look forward to the various events being arranged all through the year. Thank The A World team.

The most amazing charity!

This is the second review I have made about The A world UK in the short time I have known about this charity. The work they do for families with autistic children is beyond amazing and so many parents are grateful for the services they provide. The events they hold are a god send to families who have children with autism. The non judgemental, stress free environment is what helps parents and children enjoy their days out. I work in a SEN school and I never stop recommending The A world to parents. Me and my little boy are forever grateful for this charity.

The A World has supported our family…

The A World has supported our family for a number of years. We have been lucky enough to go Blackpool eliminations, diggerland and gullivers world. Everything is so well organised. Without these days and these events our family's simply wouldn't go to these places in fear of it being too busy and over crowded and then one of our family members could become disregulated. We are unbelievably grateful. Thank you!

We have been lucky enough to go to the take over at Chester Zoo twice and both times we had the best time as it was so inclusive, accepting and therefore relaxing. We are going to BeWILDerwood soon and we cannot wait. We haven't been able to go previously but can access it now due to The A World UK. Thank you

A world is helping neurodiverse families be included in activities that are taken for granted by every neurotypical family.

By enabling full takeovers of popular attractions our children get to be included in a non judgemental environment with support from similar situation families.

Thanks to A World we really enjoy our trips out with our family that need a little extra adjustment.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO FOR US

We have been on a few takeover days and it is so nice to be with like minded people who undestand the children. Its such a relaxing day with noone judging which means we can relax and enjoy the day without additional worries. The A world has provided us a safe space and the children love attending all the events. Thank you for all you do inckuding collecting the donations even that service makes life easier x

What can I say about the A World Uk

What can I say about the A World Uk? I honestly can’t put it in to words how amazing they are! They have created events where I can
Take my children fear free, judgement free, a place my children can be themselves. I would never have been able to take my children to places like Gulliver's world if it wasn’t for them

Before we found the A world

Before we found the A world, the likes of theme parks was a complete no go for our family. Our 6 year old son is autistic and one of his main triggers is queuing. After some horrendous experiences, we had sworn off any family days out that included lots of people and long queues.
Then we found the A world and have been on several of their takeover days. With less people and shorter queues, the A world has made those days out possible for us and have given us and our family priceless, magical memories that we would otherwise not have had.
We are eternally grateful to the A world, for the amazing work they're doing for autistic children and their families.

Diggerland Yorkshire takeover day

What can I say except it was AMAZING. From the time of booking to the end of the day we knew what to expect... and when the family comprises of children and adults who rely on knowing this was essential.
We weren't only told what time the event was but we were provided a site map so we could plan which rides and what order, and that we would need cash for some additional rides.
We loved the whole experience and definitely recommend
