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.

What an amazing charity

What an amazing charity! It was amazing being in a place with purely neurodivergent families - it was refreshing to not have to worry about judgement and knowing that everyone there "gets it" and understands the difference between a tantrum and a overstimulated meltdown.

We love our A-World adventures

We love our A-World adventures! It makes such a difference when the staff at these places are prepared, patient and aware of the circumstances. It also makes it so much easier to enjoy and navigate the day when so many of the obstacles (ie crowds) are reduced / removed. Many thanks A-World :-)

Fantasic experiences

I have attended multiple events with the a world including Gullivers World, Diggerland, BeWILDerwood and Eureka since I found the charity. Every event is brilliantly organised and welcoming, these events are an absolute game changer for my boys and has allowed them experiences that I would be unable to take them too on a standard day. Being surrounded by others who understand that children may disregulate without judgement or staring makes the day enjoyable for all of us. Any issues or concerns I’ve had have been quickly resolved when I contacted them.

I love the A World

I love the A World, I only discovered them about a year and a half ago but they've provided so much value since. The events they run have provided activities to look forward to where I can bring my son along, knowing it will be catered for his needs, I won't be judged by his behaviour and I will be supported by other parents that understand. They take "inclusive" to another level and I am so grateful that I have access to them.

Martin Mere

We were so fortunate to be able to stay in the A World caravan and had an amazing time. The break from reality honestly did us all the world of good.
The caravan is spacious and clean and there has been good communication throughout.
Can't thank them enough and definitely can't fault them in any way.

It was wonderful in the beginning

It was wonderful in the beginning at Harpurhey shop.., then it started to change when more volunteers joined.
Some had no customer service or till training, they didn't build a relationship with the customers.
Often tried to out do each other when going on the till, sometimes mistakes with transactions went wrong
Some were lazy, couldn't be bothered with tagging clothes and putting them out in the shop.
Management more interested in getting a bonus especially if the made more money than other shops.

The A world events mean the world to us, it means we can enjoy a day out as a family without the stares and judgment of others, and with less stress and meltdowns because there’s less to get overwhelmed with like the usual crowds, noise, queues and waiting which can be a massive struggle ♥️ so grateful The A World exists x

The A world are brilliant with SEN events

The A world have been brilliant in the organization of their recent Gulliver's takeover. We have wanted to take our son for a while but felt anxious because of his additional needs. The day was brilliantly organized, capacity was a really good level, lovely to be with families all in similar situations so no judgement or pressure.
The A world team were great with prompt email replies and helpful with booking. We even ended up staying for the night in the hotel as discounted prices were great.
Thank you again for a wonderful family experience 😊

Gullivers world

Me and my family had an amazing day out at gullivers world . My boys who have special needs really enjoyed it. It was alot more easier and very less stressful when a place is not over crowded and theres not lots of queuing. Such an amazing event. Hopefully be booking more for my boys to enjoy. Thank you

Gullivers Event - success!!

We had such a wonderful time at the A World Gullivers World event. Queues were smaller. It was a quieter atmosphere. We were so apprehensive at first but shouldn’t have been. Thanks so much for a brilliant day!
