Joining Autism Berkshire as a member ensures that you receive the latest information about autism-related issues and services in Berkshire and helps us to support autistic people and their families throughout the county.
Benefits of membership include:
- Connect with a community of people in a similar position to you
- Regular email newsletters with information about Autism Berkshire activities and events
- Social events for members, including fun days at the Thames Valley Adventure Playground and activities for adults
- A copy of our Annual Review and a vote at our Annual General Meeting
We offer three types of membership:
- Standard membership costs £20 per year for an individual or a family, and is suitable for autistic people, parents, carers or relatives of autistic children and adults, or any non-professional who wishes to support our work.
- Concessionary membership costs £10 per year, and is for students, pensioners and those whose only household income is from state benefits. If you are on a low income and the cost of standard membership is a barrier to joining us, you may also qualify – contact us using the details below if you are unsure whether you qualify.
- Professional membership costs £30 per year and is for professionals who support people on the autism spectrum and/or their families. Your organisation gets all the benefits listed above. When registering, we suggest that an individual is nominated to be the main contact and to receive mailings.
Please note that you are signing up for a recurring annual membership, that renews automatically. We will notify you about this by email each year in the month before your membership is due to renew.

Gift Aid
You can boost the value of your membership to us by 25p of Gift Aid per £1 – so we will receive an extra £5, in addition to your £20 annual membership fee. We reclaim the extra amount from the Government, out of the tax you pay for the current tax year. To allow us to do this, select Yes for the Gift Aid option below.
Please note that by selecting Yes, you are agreeing that if you pay less Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed, you are responsible for paying any difference.
If you pay Income Tax at the higher rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue & Customs to adjust your tax code.
Please notify us by email at contact@autismberkshire.org.uk or by calling 01189 594 594 (option 1) and leaving a voicemail, if you want to:
- Change your name or address
- Update your contact preferences
- Cancel your Gift Aid declaration
- No longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains for us to claim Gift Aid
