The A World UK Anmeldelser 

We have been on a few trips now, my daughter loves the dino den in gullivers world, we would never be able to attend on a regular day so we get to experience a lovely day with no stress.

We went with The A World to Land of lights at Gulliver's World. The A World have made it easier to have family time at Autism take over events for our family we have two children with additional needs. These events have been amazing an we don't have to worry about being judged for our children to be themselves or even ourselves. We're looking forward to future events. We are so lucky to have The A World as it's such a amazing Charity, they take of all the stress us parents & carers have on these lovely days out. We are so happy & lucky to be able to go to these events.

Our first time at Eureka, but whether it's somewhere new or somewhere we know well such as Gullivers, The A World makes everyone feel safe. From pre arrival information such as social stories and everything a parent could need to know, to always having the same familiar photographer at events, everything is well planned. Days out with autism and anxiety can be stressful or just not happen. The A World make sure wherever we go is a safe space. We know our children can be themselves and no one will bat an eyelid. They may even make a friend! My boys all wanted to go back the next day, so that's high praise from them.

To be able to have a day out or a break away as a family without the worry of outside judgement is something that cannot be valued highly enough. Just a day to feel like a regular family. We've done Eureka and Gullivers twice with the A World now and can't wait to do it again 🙂

We have attended multiple events and benefited from a funded holiday with the a world. When i saw these events are a lifeline for us i mean it. We have 3 autistics children along with myself also having autism and these events meam we can finally do things as a family without judgement and without overload. The reduced capacity and lack of excessive stimulants ensure for a calmer easier time than during standard hours. We have avoided multiple trips out to places to avoid judgement and meltdowns due to over stimulated kids but the A world have given us the freedom to give our family normal experiences. We hadnt been away for over 6 years by the time we received a funded holiday and although we only lasted 2 nights out of the 3 booked due to the kids inability to sleep somewhere other than home it was nice to finally get away.

The a world, are one of a kind and go above & beyond for people with autism my daughter and family have had wonderful days out provided through this company & we have also raised money and donated to this amazing charity as our daughter has autism & this charity is special to us ❤️

We did our first event at Eureka yesterday afternoon and it was so good. The little ones enjoyed themselves, benefitting from a quieter session. It was also great for us as parents not to feel judged or stressed. Happy children, happy parents! We are so grateful to this charity and the events they put together. Will definitely do more and thoroughly recommend them!

Me and my son visited The A World event at Eureka in Halifax, what a wonderful organisation it is! Thank you for the great experience, my son hasn't stopped talking about it :)

I'm yet to attend any events since my son has been diagnosed due to not driving and distance so I'm looking out for something I can finally get to. I have however used the service to donate clothes and bric-a-brac for their shops. I got a text to say I'd have someone collect between 8am and 10am the next day. The collecter came exactly 8:10am and collected all seven bags I donated. Very pleased. I also visit their Eccles and Salford stores often to see what bargains I can purchase myself. Great cause and great volunteers. Will continue to support this charity, and hope the favour returns when I get to attend their events :)

Hi what an amazing thing to do my daughter sister little boy as full blown autism most of the time he’s so quite an other he’s just running around he can’t mix it’s very important to take him to such an advent as urs it would be so encouraging for him to try these new things without a lot of people around he can’t cope with that it’s a real shame he’s a beautiful little boy I think he would engage more an try new things it would be truly a lovely thing for them to be able to do this at autism awareness at Gulliver’s World thank u so much for doing such a lovely thing xx

Events are brilliant. I would not be able to have family days out without them. It's nice hat everyone who attends is in the same situation so there's no judgement of meltdowns

Fantastic charity who give families the chance for a non judgemental day out feeling calm in the fact there Will be no looks of discuss at a fantastic price. Thanks for the fantastic opportunities for our amazing autistic children and their siblings.

Review by Alison Bishop-Otutaha

We have been to 2 events so far with The A World with our 3 autistic boys. They organise the most amazing days out to places we would normally struggle to attend. We really are so lucky to have charities like this to arrange taking over large attractions, allowing us to have a less stressful day out that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to access. Thank you for all your hard work planning these fabulous times!!!

We have visited the charity stores, donated to the stores using the collection service and benefited from several trips out with my son who is autistic. During every interaction we’ve been met with nothing but kindness - whether it’s with the booking team, collection staff, store staff or volunteers. The days out we’ve been on are invaluable and mean so much to families like mine who are unable to access things at peak times and were so grateful for this amazing charity.

A long but lovely day!

The A World UK CIC pulled it out of the bag yet again. The “take over” days that these guys organise really do bring home just how important it is to let our children be themselves. To allow them the autonomy the need and deserve and to embrace the way they learn and process the world around them. The Joy we witnessed from Families today was incredible.

When you’ve witnessed your children become shells of their former selves because they’ve been conditioned to mask who they are in a toxic environment for so long, to then see them as they begin to ‘unmask’ and watch as their beautiful, authentic characters start shining again is incalculable and it’s the work that The A world do and the days they organise that play such a pivotal part in that.

My babies loved today. They were curious, they were happy and they were “free”.

Every event we attend, e come away feeling validated, understood and welcomed. And for that, this incredible organisation is worth its weight in gold!

To be able to go for a day out with my son and know that we were supported by everyone there was priceless. Not just the staff but all the other parents attending. The A world made it easy to have a family day out and communicated everything perfectly. We can’t wait to go on another outing.

We went to our first A-World event this September to Gullivers and had a great time. So great to be able to experience a day out when normally this wouldn't be possible. It was stress free! And fun for all the family, the park being shut down meant we could access all the rides, and it was a safe day out. The limited numbers really helped My daugher not get overwhelmed. My son also had a great time he went on the bigger rides! Said it was the best family day. The park has rides for all ages. We also stayed over night and picked the unicorn room, which made the experience even more special. The room was beautiful! The food on site and entertainment in evening were great. Both kids also lover the marshmallow toasting at the end! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, fun and safe event! We can't wait for the next one!

We visited Eureka today and had the best afternoon. The reduced capacity and everyone understanding each others needs really helps make it stress free.

We went to our first A-World event this September to Gullivers and had an amazing time. My daughter can get overwhelmed when places are too busy and crowded so the limited numbers made all the difference! I even managed to get her on the roller coaster, I couldn’t quite persuade her to get on the boat ride though (she hates water!) We are very grateful that the A World provide these fantastic opportunities for days out that otherwise might not be possible or would be incredibly stressful! Thank you

We have been part of The A World family for a few years now and been on many days out with them. We also had a holiday this year in their caravan. It gives our boys the chance to have their days out with reduced capacity and less stress with queueing and crowds. The break we had in July meant the park wasn't as busy as it is during the summer holidays. We love our experience with this charity
