Danny Hashim Autism Awareness Charity

Constitutional objectives

(a) Advancement of education by funding autism training from nursery to secondary school (from age 3-18) to enable all adults working with children and young people to identify the signs of autism (they should complete an autism awareness course). (b) Advancement of education by funding autism awareness courses for parents with autistic children. (c) Advancement of relief of those in need by creating a safe space for autistic children where they can interact freely, comfortably and discuss problems they may be facing in a safe environment. Volunteers from the charity who will be supervising sessions will also encourage conversation and integration between children attending the hubs. (d) Advancement of education and relief of those in need by engaging with children and young people in schools through assemblies, seminars and group sessions to raise awareness of autism and promote tolerance. (e) Promotion of equality and diversity and advancement of education by petitioning for the law to be changed so that the Scottish government is required to ensure that mental health training provided to all adults working with children is made mandatory. Subsequently we would like the Scottish government to increase funding for resources for young people’s mental health, specifically more resources for units such as CAMHS to diagnose people in schools, provide support training for parents as well as teachers and support staff. (f) Advancement of relief of those in need by donating money to schools with neurodiverse children so they can become members of youth organisations such as The Yard in Scotland, which runs adventure services for disabled children, young people and their families. (g) Advancement of education and relief of those in need by donating money to schools to help fund resources which will support autistic children in all aspects of the curriculum.
