Autistic UK Launch

Updated: Aug 3, 2023

Tickets available at the link Below!



Autistic UK is transforming from an unincorporated voluntary organisation into a Community Interest Company. This means we will be able to expand greatly on what we can do to further equal rights for autistic people and educate society about us. The possibilities really are limitless!


Obviously, the event will be an update of what we have done over the last year, plus lots of information about the conversion to a CIC and lots of opportunities to ask questions. There will also be opportunities to sign up to become a member of Autistic UK during the event. This is a great chance to join Autistic UK as we start an exciting new chapter in our organisation.!


We will have a few stalls available for information/vending, so if you know anyone who would like one, tell them to get in touch.


We will be meeting at St. Thomas Centre, Ardwick Green North, Manchester, M12 6FZ from 10:30am to 4:00pm. The building is fully accessible and we will have the main hall as well as two quiet rooms at our disposal. Detailed information about the venue is available below.

Venue


The venue is St Thomas Centre, a Grade 2 converted church. Although it is close to Manchester City Centre, it is in a green and peaceful area. The unofficial name for the street is “voluntary sector row”, as many voluntary organisations have their headquarters there.

Wi-Fi is free and smoking is not allowed in the building.


The website of the venue is here http://www.stthomascentre.org.uk.


You can take a “virtual tour” of the venue via google street view by clicking on this link http://www.stthomascentre.org.uk/our-rooms and selecting the “Tour” tab. The Event will be held in the Main Hall, which is directly down the corridor from the reception.

There are several good options for buying nissan decal. One of them is the site supdec.com, which offers a wide range of high-quality decals for various Nissan models. I found many designs there that are great for updating the look of the car. They offer decals that not only look stylish, but also have good durability and resistance to environmental influences. The site is easy to search by category, and there is an option to order custom designs.
