THIS year’s Autism’s got Talent Roadshow will be held in The Arc in Stockton.
The event, which will take place on Friday, September 16, showcases the diverse talents of individuals on the autistic spectrum.
It's the idea of mother two autistic young men, Anna Kennedy OBE, originally from Middlesbrough, who established the autism charity Anna Kennedy Online.
AnnaKennedyonline and the autism family support charity Daisy Chain based at Norton, near Stockton are working together again to stage the event, after a successful roadshow last year at Teesside University.
Anna Kennedy is patron of Daisy Chain and several key autism charities and support groups.
She said: "Autism’s Got Talent is a special event that is one of a kind, and is extremely poignant to those with autism and their families.
“Those involved can have fun, do what they love, make friends and be themselves, and have one night which is all about them.
“We aim to continue to build Autism’s Got Talent year by year and we also now have the Autism’s Got Talent Roadshow, which travels to different cities and theatres throughout the country.”
Tickets are now on sale for £15 for adults and £10 for concessions from the Daisy Chain Day Centre or over the phone on 01642-531248. For more details to to annakennedyonline.com
