St Helens Autism Support has been working with a few organisations to support a new Laundry Scheme that would provide a working environment for children coming out of secondary school who are on the autism spectrum which could eventually provide a revenue stream which would support the service. A site has been identified in the local community to run this project and dialogue is ongoing with the local council and other partners to produce a business plan with the relevant financial support to move this project forward. As a charity it is our aim to invest some of our funds to this project as we feel this meets the criteria set out in our objectives.
