Ambitious about Autism is a truly remarkable organisation. They have been a huge support to my wife and me and to my son Oscar over many years through Treehouse School and more recently Ambitious College. Their passion, expertise and, perhaps most of all, their sheer ambition makes a vital difference to all the families whose lives they touch and I'm very proud to be one of their ambassadors.

About our charity

Our journey started in 1997 when a group of parents set up TreeHouse School. At a time when autistic children faced little or no chance of receiving a full and rewarding education, these parents were determined to change this for their children.

This pioneering approach has evolved over time as we’ve adapted and grown as an organisation. What started with four pupils has grown to become a charity that has supported thousands of autistic children and young people. Today we run schools and a college that focus on improving the quality of life of learners to enable them to learn, thrive and achieve.

Why take part?

By taking part in Manchester to London, you’re raising money and awareness for autism and helping us to be able to stand with autistic children and young people, champion their rights and create opportunities.
