Looking forward to the celebration of autism event at the Beachcomber on the 7th and 8th June are Geoff Kirman, club manager along withMarc Wilson, business manager at focus, left, and Kirsty Sharlotte, business service officer.
A Celebration of Autism is taking place at The Beachcomber next month, held by independent adult social work provider Focus.
This is their third annual autism event, and will be held at the much larger venue on Wednesday, June 7 and Thursday June 8, 2017. Celebration of Autism 2017 will see the return of Jamie Knight and Lion who has performed at both previous events, with Dean Beadle also returning and acting as master of ceremonies over the two day event.
The event will see many autistic performers come to the area including; Natalie Priest, who will be creating a stop motion animation workshop, Dan Jeffery, an autistic poet, Amanda Hind, an autistic speaker, trainer and mentor, Alex Lowery, a public speaker and trainer on autism, Haydn Gardiner, an autistic artist and David Ellams, who specialises in Yoga4Autism.
As part of this year's event, Focus have also organised for autistic musicians to come to the area including; Scott James, as seen on the x-factor, Robyn Steward, who will also be giving a presentation about her adventures, and Aukestra, a 16 member autistic band.
The event will include an art exhibition for both autistic adults and children, which will also include a competition within the children's category. As included at last year's autism event, attended by 211 people, there will also be a quiet area and new to this year's Celebration of Autism event will be an activities area for anyone to utilise at the event.
This year's event is set to be more interactive than previous years and Focus hope to see many new and returning attendees. The event will include stands from various authors as well as a stand for the Adult Autism Forum, which is a local Grimsby-based group where people with autism meet.
Doors open at 10.30am on Wednesday, June 7 with the event running from 11am to 7pm. On Thursday, June 8, doors will open at 9.30am with the event running from 10am to 6.20pm.
