Creatovators is a Social Enterprise with a passionate belief that people on the autistic spectrum have a lot to offer. By providing help and support to them, their families, professionals, companies and organisations, we are seeing significant success stories as a result of our service-user-led, "can do" approach.

Project Overview

Overview provided by crowdfunder.co.uk

We established our projects and activities in response to a lack of resources in the local area for families with children on the autistic spectrum or those who have recently been referred for a diagnosis. We aim to provide a safe and accepting environment for these families to play. We started with a monthly playscheme in Bearsden and have since opened two additional monthly playschemes in other locations. Many of our families express that they have "nowhere else to go."

Our Aims

- To create a safe and accepting environment for individuals to play and engage socially.
- To offer support to families and caregivers.
- To collaborate with other agencies and professionals involved in our autistic community.
- To provide volunteering opportunities for individuals on the autistic spectrum, as well as for those who may feel socially isolated.
- To share best practices with other organisations.

Why Are We Crowdfunding?

We are a very small social enterprise organisation that relies on financial support from grants, donations, and income generated from delivering small training sessions. We have strong ties to the community and need financial assistance to implement supportive programs for autistic young people. The funds raised will help finance a 10-week video program for autistic young people called "Voices of Autism." Working on this video project will help develop social and communication skills, as well as aid in creative development. We will be teaching new skills by having experienced professionals instruct on video and audio recording techniques. By the end of the 10 weeks, we will not only have enhanced the skills and abilities of the group but will also have created a new 10-15 minute video to add to our existing "Voices" series, which serves as an educational resource for autistic individuals.
