The AAC is a community centred charitable football project run by myself to help raise awareness for Autism. I deal with planning, budgeting, advertising, communications and competition. We have previously had men's tournaments at lovely community venues such as Lynnsport and Ingoldisthorpe and we have attracted attention from Norwich FC, Cambridge FC and multiple media outlets. We have raised over £1000 for NAS West Norfolk since beginning and have engaged approx. 100 different players, some of which are on the ASD Spectrum. Show less
