Hearts And Minds are delighted to announce that Melanie Sykes has agreed to join us as our patron.

Throughout 2012 the Hearts and Minds Challenge team are holding charity fundraising events to support Families touched by Autism in the UK & Ireland. We have three main goals for 2012 which are to supply 1000 families across the UK with the H&M Mobile education pack to help children or adults with learning disabilities through our mobile phone recycling campaign, to continue to support Irish Autism Action and the fantastic work they do and to raise the funds we need to start our centre of excellence for autism in Manchester which we hope to start with a school for children from 3 years to 11 years of age.

Please support Hearts And Minds in our efforts to open an Education Centre for Autism in Greater Manchester. You can help by taking part in one of our events or taking part in our Phone Exchange Program and details of these can be found at www.heartsandmindschallenge.org.YOU can make a difference so please support us
