Hi my name is Melanie and I am raising funds for a pre teen group in Durham.

We would like to support families with children with autism and other social anxiety issues to help promote social inclusion and reduce isolation.

The group will be a place where parents can bring their children 7-13 years and play pool, bake snacks and play games, giving these families somewhere they can come to build relationships and support each other.

On the 6th of September one of our amazing young people, Noah, is running the junior great north run at seven years old to support our amazing group so let’s show him how proud we are of his achievement! I can’t wait to see him pass the finish line xx
