World Autism Awareness Day - Let's Celebrate Together!

As World Autism Awareness Week comes to a close tomorrow, we at 1st Healthcare Group proudly join the global celebration of World Autism Awareness Day - Sunday, 6th April 2025.

Let’s Turn Blue for Autism! 💙

To show our support, we’re encouraging all staff to wear a blue t-shirt on shift. It’s a simple yet powerful way to raise awareness and promote inclusion for people on the autism spectrum.

5 Quick Facts About Autism 🧠

1. Autism is lifelong - It affects how people communicate, interact, and experience the world.
2. 1 in 100 people in the UK are on the autism spectrum.
3. No two autistic people are the same - Each person has their own strengths and challenges.
4. Sensory sensitivities are common - Sound, light, or touch can sometimes be overwhelming.
5. Awareness is good, but acceptance is better – Inclusion is where real change begins.

Thank you for helping us create a world where everyone feels understood, respected, and included.
