The Kent Autistic Trust is a charity dedicated to supporting individuals with autism and their families across Kent. Established in 1989, the trust provides a range of services, including specialist residential homes, supported living, community outreach, and family support. Their goal is to empower autistic individuals to lead fulfilling and independent lives while raising awareness and advocating for better autism services.
The trust works closely with families, professionals, and local authorities to ensure that those with autism receive tailored support that meets their unique needs. They offer expert guidance, training programmes, and resources to improve understanding and inclusion within the community.
Through their Family Support Service, Kent Autistic Trust provides vital help to parents and carers, offering advice on education, healthcare, and navigating autism-related challenges. They also host workshops and support groups, creating a strong network for families affected by autism.
As a registered charity, Kent Autistic Trust relies on donations and fundraising efforts to continue their essential work. They encourage community involvement through volunteering opportunities and fundraising events to help sustain their services.
