A marketplace event designed to promote understanding and acceptance of autism will take place in Hull later this month as part of Autism Acceptance Week.
Hosted by Hull’s Autism Partnership Board, the marketplace will bring together a range of local organisations, services and community partners to showcase the support and resources available for autistic people and their families across the city.
The event will take place on Monday 30 March, from 10:00am to 1:00pm, at The Guildhall’s Banqueting Hall and Reception Room.
Attendees will be able to explore a marketplace featuring local organisations sharing information, guidance and support. There will also be an overview of the six priority areas within Hull’s Autism Strategy, highlighting the work taking place across the city to improve outcomes for autistic people.
The event forms part of the city’s wider commitment to ensuring services, communities and workplaces are more inclusive and better equipped to support autistic residents.
Councillor Linda Chambers, Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care, said: “Autism Acceptance Week is an important opportunity to highlight the work taking place across Hull to improve understanding and ensure autistic people feel supported within their communities. Events like this help bring together partners, services and residents so we can share knowledge and strengthen the support available across the city.
“It also reflects the ambitions set out in our Adult Social Care Plan, which places a strong focus on inclusion, partnership working and ensuring people can access the right support at the right time.”
