The group are using funding to open a charity shop in Bedfont with opportunities for all to volunteer with specific welcome for autistic and neurodiverse volunteers. The shop will raise funds for FofC while serving as a community hub for Bedfont and be the heart of the autistic community in Hounslow. The project aims to meet the needs for autistic people (families and carers) to be better understood and heard locally; to increase their feeling of belonging and to increase access to support services and mutual aid.
