The difference we make
We look for positive impact in everything we support
It’s good to hear about what schools have done. It is important for us to be sure that our funding makes a difference to autistic young people.
We look for ways that impact can be brought alive through numbers, but also through stories which help us to get a feel for the difference a project has made for autistic young people. Read our impact ‘headlines’ below. For a deeper dive, see the SCF Grant Giving report.
