Summer Outing 2009
It was great to see the smiles on the faces of fifty children and their carers as a spectacular double decker coach rolled up outside the offices of Autism London on Wednesday 12th August. This would be our transport for the day as we set off to the Bluebell Railway in Sussex and Brighton Beach for the autism london summer outing.
Thanks to the funding we received from Help A London Child we were able to organise this excellent trip at no cost to the families who thoroughly enjoyed the day's activities! Here are some of the quotes and pictures from the day.
We took the coach to the Bluebell Railway in Sussex and had a ride on a steam train (30 minutes each way). After a lovely picnic at the Sheffield Park station we got back on the coach for an afternoon by the sea at Brighton, where we wandered through the cobbled lanes, strolled along the promenade and a brave few even took a dip in the bracing water!!
We arrived back in London at approximately 7pm where we said goodbye to our group of happy but exhausted families as they thanked us for a wonderful day!
To those of you who couldn't make it on this trip, we hope you can join in the fun next year!
