TreeHouse is a United Kingdom charity working to improve the lives of autistic children and their families, and to inform the general public about autism. It was established in 1997 by a group of parents with autistic children. The chairman is Timothy Clement-Jones, Baron Clement-Jones.
[edit] Objectives
TreeHouse has three basic strategic objectives:
- To serve children with autism by developing forms of teaching designed especially for them at TreeHouse School, the charity's flagship school in London.
- To help people with autism and their families gain a greater understanding of the effects of autism.
- To encourage national decision-makers and the general public to make wise, well-informed choices and to separate fact from fiction regarding those with autism.
[edit] Fundraising
There have been a number of fundraising efforts for TreeHouse, including an ongoing appeal for funds called "Ambitious About Autism". In particular, Nick Hornby, whose son is autistic, has donated the proceeds from a number of his projects to the TreeHouse Trust.
