Triple A's
(UK, SC045020) Browse events
YTD Raised: £145.00
(UK, SC045020) Triple As is an Autism Peer Support Group, where even our support workers, volunteers and executive trustees are autistic. We are aimed at people with autism above the age of 14. There's no upper age limit or other restriction other than the member must be on the autistic spectrum. Our main aim is to locate individuals who have become socially isolated, and help them surmount their oppressive anxiety and depression. When autistic minds are nurtured and well looked after, they can realise their potential. Barriers to this are:Developmental delays get confused for developmental impossibilities - so education stops.Melt downs are avoided at all costs. Avoiding melt downs is not a bad strategy, but this tends towards avoiding all stressful situations full stop rather than building up tolerance.This leads to significantly limited choices and exclusion. As autistic children become autistic grown ups they find themselves more and more socially isolated, and forgotten. The key to our success at Triple As, is that we take teens, and older, and help them build tolerance towards the world. Through autistic peer support and mentoring we find inherent understanding that knows when to push and when to provide respite. We acknowledge the harsh realities of life then gently encourage bespoke coping mechanisms.

YTD Raised: £90.00TYPE 2 DIABETES • GET WISE. CHANGE LIVES. Our aim is to raise awareness of Type 2 Diabetes and to raise vital funding for The Michael Clements Diabetes Centre at Watford General Hospital. Michael Green was a kind and loving husband, father and friend to all, greeting everyone with his smile and warmth. It was devastating for his family and friends when he died, but through this charity, we can prevent others from suffering the same loss and thus create something good from something so tragic. With the first £10k that was raised, we built an educational dietetic kitchen at the diabetes centre at Watford General Hospital as a resource for current diabetes patients and others within our community. Our next major projects include: • providing specialist nurse training at the diabetes centre at Watford General Hospital • providing more specialst equipment for the diabetes centre. We are also in the early stages of producing a recipe book, with dishes that have been specially donated from well-known chefs, with a focus on health and diabetic-friendly foods. The book will also have useful information about diabetes, with some personal accounts from those who have lived with, and reversed their diabetic conditions...truly remarkable accounts! There are many other events planned for the coming months so please check back here regularly to see what's happening. You can also visit our website for news and for updates on our latest activities. Through collaborations with West Herts NHS Trust, The Mayor of St Albans, local business sponsorship and our trusty team of dedicated volunteers, we will continue to spread the word that a healthy lifetstyle will help to prevent Type 2 diabetes. www.michaelgreenfoundation.org Thank you for your kind donation - it is greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Sunday 13th July British 10K - London Run We have a number of runners taking part in this year's British 10K on behalf of The Michael Green Foundation.
