Stormont Estate was glowing bright as hundreds of families got together and took part in Autism NI’s annual Glow Walk event.

Families embraced the fun filled night and took part in a dance warm-up with Fitness Freddy, fun and games from the U105 crew and Frank Mitchell, and a visit from Superhero characters before embarking on a ‘glow in the dark’ walk.

Autism NI’s CEO Kerry Boyd said: “It was wonderful to see so many families join us for our fifth consecutive Glow Walk to shine a bright light on autism awareness within the wider community. It was also great to see all the families get behind the glow theme and dress in their brightest neon gear and glow sticks.

Fundraising events like this are vital in the work Autism NI carries out and helps the charity provide life-changing services. All funds raised from the Glow Walk will go towards the running of Autism NI’s Helpline service which supports over 6,600 individuals in Northern Ireland every year.”

Autism NI supports over 30,000 autistic individuals and their families across Northern Ireland and campaigns to raise awareness of autism in the wider society.
