Become a NEAS partner and we will be with you every step of the way, helping your business or organisation have a positive impact on the lives of autistic people and their families.

We provide tailored support to meet your organisation’s needs and help you widen your audience by providing an inclusive customer experience. 

Our training can include: autism awareness training for staff, an environmental audit, how to deliver inclusive activities, and connecting with the autistic community.

By training with NEAS, you can also work towards our Autism Acceptance Award for organisations in the fields of retail, hospitality, leisure, entertainment, health, and transport. 

Linda Conlon, Chief Executive at the Life Science Centre, says…

It takes a lot of time, energy and a shared vision to bring about meaningful change and we have found the perfect partner in NEAS. This has also proved the catalyst for a much wider approach to improving the centre for not only anyone with sensory challenges, but also to ensure that we provide the best experience possible for all visitors.

The Autism Acceptance Award recognises your commitment to creating an inclusive customer experience and is split into three levels which we tailor to match your organisation’s circumstances.

Our partners include Eldon Square in Newcastle, the Life Centre, The Sunderland Empire Theatre and Locomotion in Shildon.
