Lee Scott MP has campaigned long and hard for all people with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, not only in the London Borough of Redbridge but right across the UK. So many parents and carers and people with autism have been in touch with him, he has also sought cross party consensus where issues of autism are concerned for example with his Autism Bill – a private member’s bill.
Lee Scott is fully supporting the UKAF’s ‘Vision for Autism', to build the first ever state of the art Autism Centre in London, to build an autism school to service the needs of children with autism from Tower Hamlets to Redbridge, thirdly to build up a fund in order for us to help the poor. There are many more families who are below the poverty line. They desperately need help during the economic downturn. The vulnerable are suffering.
The UK Autism Foundation is committed to the poor and we will continue to speak up for the vulnerable and the marginalised in British society.
Recently the UK Autism Foundation launched the Poverty and Autism initiative urging Her Majesty’s Government to help families with autism one of the hardest hit groups as a result of the credit crunch and the looming recession.
The awards ceremony will take place in December.
