About us
Who we are
Bolton Adult Autism Support (BAAS) is a grassroots charity based in Bolton working to improve the lives of families impacted by autism. In June 2020, in recognition of our work, BAAS received the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the MBE of voluntary organisations.
Our values go ACROSS the autistic spectrum:-
Acceptance
Connection
Respect
Openness
Sensitivity
Support
A very brief outline of our service is as follows:-
* A volunteer led one to one adult focused befriending service;
* A disability welfare benefits advocacy service;
* Weekly group social events, facilitating recreational and life skills activities;
* Promoting awareness in our local community through workshops and lectures, including local at local universities and hosting student work placements.
