The Autism Alliance UK is the national body for specialist not-for-profit organisations that support autistic people and their families.

We support our member organisations by providing:

• Regular updates about the latest research, news, legislation and practice relating to autism.


• Members’ meetings, providing the opportunity to network and the chance to hear from influential speakers. Recent speakers have included senior representatives from the Department for Education, House of Lords, NHS England, The King’s Fund, Care Quality Commission, Rook Irwin Sweeney LLP, Stone King LLP, the British Association of Social Workers, Cordis Bright, Anthony Collins LLP.

• Professional groups covering practice, HR, policy, communications and campaigning, to share best practice, provide support and work together.

• Regular meetings just for CEOs, so they can share their concerns and successes, providing support to one another.

• Opportunities for member organisations to raise their profile, speak with key national stakeholders, and contribute to consultations and new research.

• Training opportunities for staff and the chance to advertise vacancies in our regular newsletter.

Our unique focus on autism as a membership organisation means that we can meet our members’ needs without mirroring the offers of other organisations. Our membership offer also aims to include all staff within our member organisations, so that they can feel part of the wider autism community and benefit from the opportunities we provide.

Key to everything we do is ensuring that the voices of autistic people and their families inform our work.
