AUTISTIC LINCS: Stars, Miracles And Me
Hello there! Callum Brazzo here, continuing to make Autistic Lincs.
To recap from last week, we have launched the 100 Day Community Kit; a positive take on an outdated concept which is explained further on the Facebook page now set up.
In summary, there are eight sections to the kit with the aim of 100 positives and helpful tips about being autistic and our communities as a whole for each section.
800 in total…is that possible? Section 1 is ‘What is autism?’ I tell my tribe to dream big and I must lead by example, hey… This week has been very exciting and new with Autistic Led as we’ve been working on some secret projects I can’t mention more about….
TEASE!
It’s been a very positive week and next week we will have our monthly film night.
And it’s not just Autistic Led that is expanding. It’s Rainbow Stars in Sleaford and Little Miracles South Holland. They are both looking for new ‘hubs’ which is extremely intriguing!
Rainbow Stars are a bunch of, well, Rainbow Stars, in the Lincolnshire galaxy and work tirelessly to connect services dotted within it.
‘The Hub will support people with additional needs to socialize and interact with others on a daily basis. It will have a sensory area as well as outdoor sensory activities, home educated children with SEN will be welcome. We hold arts and crafts sessions and learning opportunities.’
Little Miracles’ Elizabeth and Marc Kilbon, stellar parents and advocates for children everywhere, tell us on their JustGiving page that ‘Our aim in the future is to have our own building with sensory room, where the parents can come and unwind, where people looking for advice can pop in a for a friendly chat, where our team can meet and discuss fundraising or plans ahead...'
Additional needs affects more people than everyone realises, support in Lincolnshire is lacking, we want to fill that gap and be there.’
I can’t take the excitement…but none of this will happen without the community’s support and tangible actions.
We can unify over pets, the care of the elderly, bad parking, potholes, the lack of police presence…why not these valuable causes?
And I think that’s all I have this week because I can lead a horse to water, horses being readers in this instance, but I can’t make you drink.
On the back of possibly the worst comparison ever created….ciao for now!
