Autistica Charity Lunch
Tuesday, 10th May 2011
We celebrated our 5th lunch at Cliveden with a day to remember!
The atmosphere was buzzing as John Lewis joined us to stage a terrific fashion show and the most moving speech was given by our President, Dame Stephanie Shirley. We wanted it to be a special treat for all our one hundred guests and it was, starting with a glass of sparkling Laurent-Perrier champagne on the gloriously sunny terrace, followed by a delicious lunch in the Terrace Dining Room with stunning views over the grounds.
We focused the day on one important piece of research that we are fully committed to, the British Autism Study of Infant Siblings - the study of baby siblings of children diagnosed with autism to identify very early sings of autism and develop early interventions. We asked our guests to help us fund the researchers for the month of June by completing our calendar. We do have a few empty days and if you would like to help us fill these in, we would be delighted. Please see available dates here.
Just email Lynn with the half day or hours that you would like to sponsor and you can donate on our website.
We would like to say the warmest thank you to each and every one of our guests for their fabulous on-going support. It really was heart warming to see so many familiar faces and exciting to meet new friends as well. We are delighted to report that so far, thanks to date to our guests, John Lewis, Cliveden and all our sponsors, we have raised just over £23,000 from the day.
