The NAIDEX disability and healthcare exhibition is held every two years and in 2011, it's coming to Glasgow and the SECC. The Scottish Autism stand will be at B39 so come along and say hello to us if you're attending. Our development director, Charlene Tait will be giving an address.

We've already written about our forthcoming Scottish Music Concert, Tune into Autism, being held in October at St Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow. The tickets are selling fast, so make sure you get yours before they all go !

Finally, a huge great thankyou to all those who took part in last weekend's Glasgow run for Scottish Autism, and also to the 15 volunteers from law firm Maclay, Murray and Spens who gave up their their Sunday to help refresh and modernise the Abbi Centre in Abercromby Street. They worked for 6 solid hours to paint 6 rooms and and enormous hallway. As well as the volunteers time, the law firm had a budget which completely supported the material costs. Scottish Autism cannot thank you enough guys-you really have added value to the experience of our service users.
