I AM Celebrating Autism Holiday Activities
I AM Celebrating Autism in Greater Manchester
A summary
We run holiday and weekend activities for autistic children from across Greater Manchester and there are places at no or low cost especially for autistic Salford children aged 10-17. (Young people aged 18 can also attend but may be required to pay towards it). Sometimes these are all-day youth clubs held at our centre in Stretford, or they might be days out in our minibus, such as to the zoo, bowling or the seaside. These start from our centre in Stretford.
Our team of specially trained staff members are here to support and encourage each participant, ensuring everyone can take part fully and comfortably. Through play, creativity, and collaboration, our children build important social skills, explore their interests, and gain the confidence to use these skills in everyday life.
Before a child takes part in our holiday activities for the first time, we explore with them and their parent or carer whether this is the right setting for them, to make sure that we can support their needs. Please contact I AM at 0161 866 8483 or on enquiries@i-am-autism.org.uk to arrange this. Then once this is done, contact us to book an activity.

I AM Celebrating Autism in Greater Manchester
I AM Celebrating Autism in Greater Manchester
We’re a UK-registered charity working with and supporting a wide range of people, aged 10 years and upwards, who have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition (which can also be called Asperger Syndrome, High Functioning Autism or Autistic Spectrum Disorder) as well as their families, guardians and carers in Greater Manchester. We exist to support, empower, and celebrate autistic people. Our aim is to be the region’s leading developer and provider of autism support services – the first point of contact for anyone navigating an autism diagnosis in Greater Manchester. More than a provider, we strive to be an exemplar, shaping best practice and championing neurodiversity. Autism can often bring social isolation – we’re here to change that. We understand the challenges that autism can bring. We run regular group activities, clubs, and peer-based programmes to help people connect, grow friendships, and feel a genuine sense of belonging. We have the knowledge, experience and passion to help individuals and families work through them towards a happier place with autism as a part of their daily lives.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
