At Autism Family Support, we may be a small charity—but the impact we make is huge. Every day, we support families across the UK with tailored advice, inclusive programs, and emotional guidance, helping them navigate the world of autism with strength and hope. None of this would be possible without the incredible dedication of our volunteers.
Whether you’re looking to give back, gain new experiences, or simply do something that truly matters, volunteering with us can be a deeply rewarding journey—for you and the families we serve.
Our volunteers are the heart of what we do. From lending a hand at community events to supporting behind the scenes in our office, your time, skills, and compassion make a real difference. In return, we promise to support you every step of the way.
Use your talents—whether it’s admin, IT, communication, or creativity, your skills are welcome.
Try something new and build confidence in a supportive environment.
Stay active and purposeful while making a difference in real people’s lives.
Meet new people, forge friendships, and be part of a community that truly cares.
Explore new paths—many of our volunteers discover passions that lead to career or life changes.
Experience joy and fulfilment, knowing you’re helping autistic children and their families thrive.
Whether you have just a few hours a week or more time to spare, we’d love to hear from you.
If you’re detail-oriented, organised, or simply eager to help, there’s a place for you in our office team. You could support us with:
General admin
Writing or editing content
IT and data entry
Social media and communications
Fundraising and event planning
Whatever your strengths, we’ll help you use them in ways that matter.
We believe that volunteering should be a two-way experience, and we’re committed to making sure you feel valued, supported, and empowered:
Free training for your role, if needed
Clear guidance and regular support
A warm, welcoming team that treats you like family
Reimbursement of food and travel expenses
A reference to support your career or educational goals
Whether you’re a student, a professional looking for meaningful involvement, a parent with time to spare, or someone exploring new paths after retirement—your presence can change a life.

I’m so grateful for Autism Family Support. Their programs have helped my son improve his communication, and their mindfulness sessions have given me tools to manage stress. It’s comforting to connect with other parents and know we’re not alone in this journey.
My daughter has truly blossomed thanks to the amazing support of Autism Family Support. She absolutely loves the sensory-friendly activities, and I’ve found the parent workshops incredibly helpful. The staff is kind, understanding, and supportive, and we always feel so welcome here.
Autism Family Support has been a blessing for my family and a rewarding place to volunteer. Their programs have helped my child build confidence and develop important social skills. As a volunteer, I’ve seen their dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive space for families. Being part of this incredible community has been both inspiring and fulfilling.
