Saturday 2 April is World Autism Awareness Day, a UN designated day where Autism organisations around the world celebrate with unique fundraising and awareness-raising events.

Autism NI encourages you to embrace the colour ‘blue’ and stand-up for Autism. To support this, Antrim Civic Centre, Ballyclare Town Hall and Mossley Mill will be lit up blue after dusk on Saturday 2 April.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Thomas Hogg commented

“With over 30,000 people in Northern Ireland affected by Autism, I would encourage local businesses to get behind this campaign”
