Autism NI is proud to announce that twenty-nine Home Bargains stores based in Northern Ireland have raised over £105,000 in the last two years, for Northern Ireland’s main autism charity. Customers, staff and Area Managers of TJ Morris Ltd, trading as Home Bargains, have supported the charity with endless fundraising activities and in-store collections throughout the two-year partnership.

Fiona McCourt, Area Manager for Home Bargains said “We are proud to have supported Autism NI over the past two years. This Charity was selected by our colleagues due to the fantastic impact they have on autism families, and as this includes some of our colleagues. It is a cause close to our hearts.”

Sorcha Mathews, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Autism NI said “The support of the team at Home Bargains has been transformational for Autism NI services throughout Northern Ireland. In particular, the generosity of Home Bargains customers and team has provided free autism support courses and hundreds of Early Intervention sessions for parents and carers. The support has also funded Autism NI Helpline’s service which supports over 7,500 people every year.

This fantastic partnership has also been a great opportunity to raise autism awareness by championing services for our autism community and we can’t thank this incredible team enough for their support.”

Autism NI provides vital services for autistic people and their families throughout Northern Ireland, and campaigns for autism understanding and acceptance within society.
