We provide bursaries for children with autism between the ages of 2.5 - 3.5 years old within Hampshire to participate in an ABA programme. Funds are offered to means tested families and each bursary provides the financial support to staff a consultant and a team of tutors throughout the first year. Through early intervention, our aim is to provide young children with autism the opportunity to have a highly effective tailor-made programme, which uses techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive changes in behaviour. They will acquire the skills to improve their functional daily living and communication, play and social interaction, and allow them access to the most appropriate school setting with provision to best match their needs.

Devastatingly after only 5 months, Charlie passed away on 6 September 2012, just 2 weeks before his 5th birthday. Inspired by Charlie’s love for life, strength, humour and caring nature, Charlie’s Mum and Dad, Karen and Steve were able to ‘Find the Wonderful in Today’ which they have adopted as their family motto and started the charity: Charlie’s Beach Hut.
