How you can help

Prior's Court is a charity dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people who are severely challenged by their autism. Owing to the complexity of their needs, the young people we support are some of the most vulnerable in the country. It is our ambition to help build a brighter, more independent future for these young people. As a charity, we are incredibly grateful to our generous supporters who help us fund transformational projects, pay for specialist equipment and activities and help ensure we can make a real difference to the future lives of these young people and their families.
