Prior’s Court is dedicated to bringing the highest level of expertise to support and improve life chances for people with severe autism.

What we do 5-20

Family Fund

We are absolutely devastated that a road traffic collision on Thursday 11 October caused three members of staff to lose their lives while two have suffered life changing injuries. We would like to thank all those who donated or sent messages of support to those affected.
