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.

I have only recently been introduced to the A World, and me and my son have been on two days out to Gulliver’s World and Blackpool Zoo. Wow!! How amazing it has been to be able to take him to these places- I would not even attempt somewhere like Gulliver’s World on another day.
It’s been so wonderful for us. And I’m so grateful to The A World for organising these events.
Thank you!

Recently booked the event at Blackpool zoo. This was our first event with the a world uk. Checking in was the easiest check in I have ever done! So simple and effective with many staff so no-one would be waiting around. Then spend the day doing what we wanted. No hassle from staff but they were always about if you needed them. A great day. The fact it was alot quieter than a normal zoo day made the experience for us a family amazing and relaxed. We're looking forward to booking more knowing how stress free the day was for us and our little monkey!

We have been on a few days out now with the a world and it's really been amazing, we also shop in our local charity shop to support the cause.

We have just been to eureka recently and it was a lovely few hours out watching our daughter just be able to relax with other children around us who also have various additional needs. Looking forward to many more days out where she can be herself and not be stared at or judged.

Thank you for giving us this opportunity.

A fantastic organisation

The A World has given us the opportunity to attend relaxed family events with reduced numbers. It's wonderful to see so many families enjoying these days without judgement!

Gives families amazing oppurtunities

The A World is truly fantastic! Honestly can't even put into words how something that seems so simple has really changed our lives. People take days out for granted. Never felt like we could take my son to Gullivers World, Eureka and Bewilderwood due to the places being so overwhelming. We managed to go and he loved all those places! Seeing him so happy and carefree, playing and having fun is just the most amazing feeling. Thank you The A World for organising these trips, they mean the world to us. Roll on Blackpool Zoo in Feb. Plenty more memories to be made!

The A world has offered us many exciting days out or even holidays stays. With a child who’s got ASD it’s nice to be able to visit a place when everybody’s the same or similar. No judgement just everybody supporting each other.
They go above and beyond and are always very helpful.
Thank you again

Amazing

The A World has allowed us to do things that we would have never dreamt of doing. My Son is unable to access mainstream activities due to his unpredictable behaviour.
He has absolutely loved all of the days out we’ve had with this amazing charity. Being around families like ours is wonderful and makes us feel instantly at ease. No judgmental looks or tuts, just everybody relaxed and enjoying themselves.
Great charity making a huge difference to families like mine!

Amazing events and service

We have attended a number of A World events and are always so grateful for the amazing memories they have helped us make as a family. The staff are very helpful at the events, and via email to answer any queries. Harley, the photographer, is so friendly and we have some lovely family photographs to treasure as they are very difficult to get ourselves! Thanks A World.

Thank you A World

We’ve attended a number of events organised by The A World and they’ve all been fantastic. It can be very limiting at times and to have an organisation that puts on events like these and takes over the whole venue is such a relief, to know that you are there with families facing the same struggles takes a huge weight of your shoulders. Thank you to all at The A World for everything you do, it really does mean the world to a lot of families!

Best day at A World Gullivers Takeover Event!

We had the best time at the Gullivers World Takeover event in September! Running up to the event, the communication with regards to the day and our hotel accommodation was excellent. For my son, knowing what to expect is really important so we were very grateful to have been kept updated with all details, and to have photographs, ride information etc so easily available was a real bonus! On the day itself, we all had so much stress-free fun! Welcoming faces everywhere. Extremely short (if any at all!) queues. Amazing rides for the whole family (aged from 6 to 37). Then to top it off, a great sleepover in a fabulous Pitstop Pod - with evening entertainment and activities at the accommodation, which we hadn’t been expecting! Thank you so much to the A World for making experiences like this so accessible, affordable and amazing for families like mine.

100% would book again

This was our first event with The A World and I can honestly say that it beat our expectations. It’s very difficult to come by Sen sessions and this one was very understanding and relaxed.

We’ve wanted to try Eureka! Before but we were worried about how busy and overwhelming the environment would be. It wasn’t busy at all as they stager the sessions and our son loved it and even showed us where he wanted to go and led us!

We were talking to the photographer and he was so lovely. You have the option of being in or out the photographs and he was so friendly and helpful to talk to and made us more aware of the group! Pictures are free also which is amazing for families who struggle to have a family photo. He also takes pictures of what your child is enjoying in stead of trying to stage it which is also more relaxing and lovely.

We would 100% recommend and would do another event. We’re even looking in to their subscription!

Thank you!

Amazing events!

If it weren’t for the A world organising events like Eureka and Gillivers we wouldn’t be able to have family days out. It makes such a difference to our lives. Thank you A World!

Amazing Aworld

We attended the Chester zoo a world take over and had the best time. It can be a very isolated world we parent carers and our autistic children live in, but events like this enable us and our whole families to access places and activities that otherwise we would not be able to.
I've found the whole process from requesting tickets to attending events seamless and easy and most of all stress free. Thank you to the A world and the opportunities you have provided us as a family!

I joined the A World though my local council web page. It is an absolutely fantastic charity and has helped us immensely. Having a son who is autistic can be overwhelming as it can be hard to go places. The days out have been wonderful my son loves them and there’s no judgement which often happens when going places. The charity shops are brilliant and we often visit the one in Leigh which is run by Shelley. It’s opened up a new life for us really. Abigail Hartley-Watson

Eureka

A great day out at Eureka, really well organised, a lot less people than a usual day out which we found really helpful. My boys really enjoyed themselves :)
