The remaining 85% goes to the Catatonia in autism and Down Syndrome Research and Support programme. This initiative seeks to create awareness and further research into catatonia which is a condition that affects autistic and Down Syndrome populations. Catatonia causes people to freeze in movement whether walking, eating, working etc and has a huge impact on the daily lives of those affected and their families. Promoting Movement and physical activity is key for everyone and especially so for autistic and Down Syndrome populations.
15% of all funds raised go to the collaborative Clare Sports Partnership-Get Autism Active-Clare schools initiative. This entails training TY students to teach fundamental movement skills to autistic students in their schools.
