Support us

As a charity, we rely on support from people in our communities to provide programmes and activities to empower people with learning disabilities and autism. 

There are many ways you can support our work. Whether that's donating funds, volunteering with us or getting involved in fundraising activities to raise money for our cause.

Why support Share?

Share has a long track record of making a positive impact on disabled and autistic people's lives. Many people with learning disabilities and autism suffer from social isolation and poor health outcomes, but 93% of our students tell us that Share helps them to make friends and 85% say we support them to be healthier. Developing our students' independent living skills and supporting them to make their own choices is a huge part of our work, 89% say we help them to do things by themselves and 83% say we help them make choices for themselves.

Year on year, our students make progress in areas such as physical health, communication and work readiness, demonstrating the impact of our person-centred approach to working with every student. And we have now reversed the negative impact of Covid on our students' physical health, as they embrace more physical activity and healthier food choices.
