Is there a need for this where you live?
We're building Stable Ground in East Renfrewshire — but we want to understand the picture across the whole of Scotland. Tell us what exists for autistic children near you, and what's missing. Every answer becomes evidence in our funding applications.
Why we're asking
Funders ask one question first: “Who says this is needed?”
The national figures are stark — 42,000 children waiting for assessment, fewer than half seen within 36 weeks. But funders want to hear from the families and professionals in the places we'll serve. That's you.
It shapes what we build
How far families will travel, what's already nearby, and which barriers matter most tell us where to start — and whether to plan a second site.
It goes into every application
Anonymised totals — “62 families in Renfrewshire, 41 waiting over a year” — are exactly the local evidence that Awards for All, Corra and Better Breaks ask for.
It gets you on the list, if you want
Leave an email at the end and we'll tell you when places open. Leave nothing and your answers still count — the survey can be fully anonymous.
The survey
First, tell us who you are
Two short paths — one for families, one for the professionals who support them. Pick yours and the right questions appear.
What happens next
How your answers are used
- Counted, not quoted by name. We report totals by council area — never anything that could identify a family.
- Published in plain sight. We'll publish a summary on our Resources page once we have enough responses to be meaningful, so other charities and councils can use it too.
- Put in front of funders. Local need is the first thing grant assessors look for. Your answers become the evidence that turns a good idea into funded places.
