Irish Society for Autism

A Big Thank You to Clare Kenneally for raising a fantastic €408.32 for the Society by taking part in a Fundraising Fast.

Pat Matthews conferred with honorary doctorate from Trinity.

Pat Matthews, Executive Director of The Irish Society of Autism and Past President of the World Autism Organisation, was confered with a Doctor in Laws (LL.D) at Trinity College Dublin on Friday 10th December 2010. During a lifetime of commitment to people with Autism he has changed the ways in which people with Autism are regarded and treated in society. He has campaigned most forcefully nationally and internationally for the rights of people with autism and has pioneered a deeper understanding of Autism and his work has established an ethos of respect and regard for people with this disability.

The Church Gate Collections have played an important part in the fundraising calendar of the Irish Society for Autism for the last 45 years.

Collection’s take place throughout the country every year and the success of these collections would not be possible without the generosity of volunteers and donators.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our contributors over the years.
