AIM Sunderland is a leading brand dedicated to supporting and empowering autistic individuals throughout their lives. Our vision is to enable autistic people to be themselves, valued by others, and live their lives in a way that suits them. We achieve this by connecting with individuals and families living with autism, providing support, information, advocacy, and a safe social environment.

Our mission is to be the best we can in supporting autistic people. We prevent individuals from reaching crisis points, offering innovative and differentiated services that meet their complex needs, including communication needs. Additionally, we identify gaps in existing services and work towards providing solutions to meet the needs of the autism community.

At AIM Sunderland, we believe in collaboration, inclusivity, and continuous improvement. We work collaboratively with other organizations and groups to improve the lives of autistic people, and we ensure that the views and opinions of our service users are included in the development and delivery of our services. We strive to be an accessible and approachable service for autistic adults seeking support, information, or advocacy.

Operating with our core values of respect, dignity, safety, and social inclusion, we deliver personalized support and advocacy, promoting informed choice and independence. Furthermore, we actively campaign to change society's perception and understanding of autism.
