Carers Week 2021
There are 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK that should be visible and valued. We at AKO feel that carers are the backbone of our society and should be acknowledged and supported. Carers constantly have at the back of their minds of who will look after our children and adults when we are no longer around. A petition was created and we would really appreciate your support by signing this. Click here to add your signature and please do continue to share this.

Please see below a poem written by Dawn Avery our Charity Champion for Carer’s Week 2021
They was never just a carer
They became a family friend
Always there to give advice
A shoulder to always lend
When times were really difficult
When times we felt alone
We would lean upon our carers
Never did they moan
They supported all the good times
Aswell as all the bad
We celebrate our carers
The best our family had
Thank you all

Dawn said “It was a time I would not change for anyone as he really embraced his Autism from the very moment we become involved. We were made to feel a welcome part of the team. We have held a number of Autistic & proud events for the charity including supporting the Essex, The AKO Celebrity football match and the AGT roadshow in Essex.
