Step Up for Sycamore 2022!

Get your walking shoes on during Autism Awareness Week

Grab your trainers and get walking and talking! Our SWAP team of Ann Marie Lyons-Mummery and Cheryl Kearney are taking up the challenge of doing a sponsored walk to raise money for our wonderful charity during Autism Awareness Week.

Autism can often be mis understood and now is our chance to get talking and spread some positive awareness. We are walking on Monday 28th March 2022 from our Autism Hub in Romford to our headquarters in Dagenham and then grabbing a complimentary quick coffee and cake and doing the return the journey. The walk starts at 10.00 am and we should be back in Romford at around 2pm. It's around a ten mile journey there and back, so it's a challenging distance, but we're hoping that four hours is about right.

It's all part of our efforts for Autism Awareness Week, which starts on 28th March, and we'll be building up to our Dare to be Different day on Friday 1st April. We would love for as many as people to join us, catching up with old friends and making some new ones along the way.  We're hoping to raise funds for the Sycamore Trust and highlight that we are all different in our own unique way and that’s OK. If you would like to join us on our walk and talk please contact swap@sycamoretrust.org.uk  to sign up or go to  https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/stepupforsycamore
