We have now entered a partnership with
the local Universities and People Matter Charitable organisation to place autistic people into paid employment and work experience placements with local employers in areas of their interest. This we hope will give employers the confidence to employ more autistic people in various faculties. The emphasis being to match the right employers with the right employees with interests, talents and skills that go with the job offered. We are currently looking for an autistic person who can do admin work (supported training available) with Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce. We would love to hear from you!!!!

Going an extra mile
The manageress of HSBC Eastbourne, Maxine White has gone an extra mile : she offers a side quiet room to anyone who shows the Stress Alert Card. Staff will do your transaction while you entertain your child from the quiet room. The same applies to adults in the similar situation

Training
More Arndale Centre retailers: Bonmache, Primark, Bags and Marks and Spencer as well as more Security Guards and Cleaning staff have just had their autism training.
The general feedback from most Arndale staff is that following their autism training, they are now more aware of individual showing signs of being overwhelmed by the environment without necessarily being shown the Stress Alert Card. Personally, I think this is a fantastic thing to happen in our town for the autistic community. The Work Carries on.
