2. Residence: Applicants must legally live in the UK and reside in England.
Am I eligible for a membership?
Currently our membership scheme is only available to applicants who have a formal autism diagnosis and live in England.
Can I still request tickets for events if I'm not eligible for membership?
Absolutely! Living outside of the eligible membership areas does not prevent you from requesting tickets to our much-loved autism-friendly take-over events. We encourage everyone to participate in and enjoy these events, fostering a sense of community.
