“The idea behind Wear It For Autism was to spoil those who usually never get a chance to treat – or even think – of themselves. Living with autism can be challenging and extremely demanding so we wanted to create a special event, that would be fun for all involved ‘ Tickets for the show will be available soon and all ticket holders will receive FREE goody bags!
Celebrity presenters this year including Arlene Phillips CBE, Kirk Norcross , Abz, Keith Mason, Dr Pam Spurr, Amy Willerton, Steve King, Jason Leech and many more .
