Free Sensory Equipment from Autism in Museums

THIS OFFER IS NOW CLOSED 

HUGE THANKS TO SPACEKRAFT  FOR DONATING AN EXTRA TACTILE SENSORY BAG (WORTH OVER £100) TO AUTISM IN MUSEUMS, WE NOW HAVE 9 PACKAGES TO GIVEAWAY! 

In April 2018 over 30 volunteers completed a Museum Marathon walking to over 26 museums in London in one day. We raised over £1,000 and some of that money is going towards purchasing sensory equipment to encourage museums, galleries and heritage sites to support autistic visitors in the UK.

Using this form https://goo.gl/forms/4ycfTXvCNMSp9ctJ2  you will be able to select equipment to apply for and provide details so I can contact you if you are chosen to receive one of the packages on offer.

You can find out detailed information about what each package contains in this blog.

The deadline for completing the form is the 31st August 2018 (Now extended to 7th Sept) I will be bringing together a panel of young autistic people to help decide who will receive the equipment. The answers you give to this form will help us make a decision if lots of museums apply. I will be making a decision on who to give the equipment to in Sept – early Oct.

This offer is only open to UK based venues. All the equipment will be bought new from reputable suppliers and I will arrange for delivery to a named recipient at your museum.

If you have any questions or queries not covered in this survey please contact me via email at info@13.43.215.4

There are 3 different Category A packages to give away and 5 Category B packages (which are the same), I decided to split up the equipment so it would benefit as many museums as possible. You can apply for a Category A and a Category B package but you will only receive one from each group.

Huge thanks to everyone who donated to Museum Marathon and everyone who took part, your help and support has enabled this to happen!
