National Autistic Society (Surrey Branch)
About Us

The Surrey Branch of the National Autistic Society was formed in 1995 and is run entirely by volunteers, most of whom are parents of children or adults with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs). There are now around 900 members on our newsletter mailing list. We support families involved in the care of children and adults with ASDs in Surrey, working closely with NAS professionals who run services from the NAS Autism Resource Centre in Godalming.

Some of the things we do are

• Hold monthly meetings in the Guildford, Woking and Redhill areas.
• Organise coffee mornings throughout Surrey.
• Run social events for families with autistic children.
• Organise workshops and conferences for both parents and professionals.
• Attend meetings with professionals from education, health and social services to promote a greater understanding of the needs of people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
• Produce a free newsletter every 2 months.

The branch relies on the support of individuals to continue our work, as we receive no funding from local or central government. Donations from companies are also very welcome, and some members have raised funds for us through their company's matched giving scheme. Any financial contributions should be sent by cheque made out to 'NAS Surrey Branch' and sent to the address below. .

We are a full branch of the NAS, but we are not the NAS itself. For further information, please contact our Branch Officer:
