Written by the company

The A World UK CIC is a non-profit organisation supporting the autistic community across the North of England. The A World UK receives no funding from outside sources, we rely solely on the generous donations of pre-loved items and the money donations from members of the public. The funds raised via the community stores and the text to donate service are used to by The A World UK to provide services to the autistic community and their families. Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, we are proud to state that we support individuals of all ages. Unfortunately, far too many support abruptly stops when an individual reaches the age of 25, we understand and recognise that the individual will still require support regardless of their age!  Our aim is to help and support the Autistic Community through providing a variety of services, we currently offer funded holidays*, horse-riding sessions, and many more inclusive events which are held throughout the year.

Blackpool Zoo

We had a wonderful family day on Saturday at Blackpool Zoo - it was an amazing take-over event and one with memories that will last a long time. Thank you so much to the A World UK CIC for organising these fantastic events and bringing experiences to those with autism.

Blackpool Zoo

Blackpool Zoo
Blackpool Zoo you were everything we were looking forward to and more! Aamir and all the family loved every aspect from the minute we arrived through to the minute we left. It was lovely how everyone was able to be themselves and many of our families were able to venture out when they otherwise couldn't even imagine a day trip out like this! Thank you The A World for your endless event opportunities!

Thank You A-World

It is always so lovely to go to an event knowing you are surrounded by people who understand what is is to live Autism.
Thank you A-World for giving families an opportunity to relax and be themselves.
The reduced rate tickets make it do-able for families who can only stay a while.
The smaller crowds means no queues to see animals, less noise and there is an overall less stress atmosphere.

It was a brilliant day and we managed to get some decent weather. It felt so calm walking around the zoo and it made all the difference for our day out. My son loved it and the addition of going into the play barn for a reduced rate was fantastic. Thank you so much

As a frequent attendee at the takeover events they run, I can only thank them and say what an incredible job they do. Everything has been seamless at every stage. They do an incredible job and make our family feel safe and accepted. My one and only criticism is that we can't become members due to no shop being in our borough. I think I know why this restriction exists though and until then, I'll just donate the membership fee to them instead.

Blackpool Zoo you did not disappoint. What a fab day. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and the animals were amazing. Alexander absolutely loved it. From the minute we arrived, the staff were dressed up as animals, everything was so well run and Im crossing my fingers we can do it all again next year. Thank you A world for another super event.

I have only recently been introduced to the A World, and me and my son have been on two days out to Gulliver’s World and Blackpool Zoo. Wow!! How amazing it has been to be able to take him to these places- I would not even attempt somewhere like Gulliver’s World on another day.
It’s been so wonderful for us. And I’m so grateful to The A World for organising these events.
Thank you!

Recently booked the event at Blackpool zoo. This was our first event with the a world uk. Checking in was the easiest check in I have ever done! So simple and effective with many staff so no-one would be waiting around. Then spend the day doing what we wanted. No hassle from staff but they were always about if you needed them. A great day. The fact it was alot quieter than a normal zoo day made the experience for us a family amazing and relaxed. We're looking forward to booking more knowing how stress free the day was for us and our little monkey!

We have been on a few days out now with the a world and it's really been amazing, we also shop in our local charity shop to support the cause.

We have just been to eureka recently and it was a lovely few hours out watching our daughter just be able to relax with other children around us who also have various additional needs. Looking forward to many more days out where she can be herself and not be stared at or judged.

Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
