I can’t think of a better way to end the week than to announce our 125th member charity.  ‘Autistica’ is the largest UK charity raising funds for medical research to improve diagnosis, advance new treatments and discover the causes of autism.

The charity has been funding medical research for 6 years, and funds project grants, programme grants, equipment grants, clinical trials, lectureships, fellowships & PhD studentships.  In 2009 the charity’s expenditure on medical research was over £600K and the charity has 13 current grants totally almost £2M.

We are playng ‘Ode to Joy’ in the office to celebrate as we hope they are too.
