On 22nd June 2025 William was joined by his closest friends and families to complete a fundraising walk around Astbury Mere to raise funds for Ruby’s. This is the second year that William, his friends and family have organised this walk for Ruby’s. We are humbled and proud to have supported William and his family in this amazing fundraiser. Thank you to everybody who participated and those who donated. Your support will help us to continue to make a difference.
Here are some words written from William’s mummy:
William is a bright, kind and determined little boy with a love for dinosaurs and the great outdoors. William has a diagnosis of Autism and communicates through the use of an AAC device. William has accessed Ruby’s since the age of 18 months. It has been a safe haven for him to play and be himself whilst offering me opportunity to be heard and understood when times are tough. Raising a child with additional needs can be isolating and Alison and her team at Ruby’s have been a sounding board, offering lived experiences and invaluable advise. We are delighted to be able to fundraise for an incredible charity so close my our hearts.
We intend to raise as much funds as possible to enhance the lives for other children with additional needs and their families. This is a perfect opportunity to stand together in support of acceptance to all children with additional needs so please feel free to join us at the event or share our donations page.

All the children wore RED to show our respect and appreciation to Ruby’s, whilst importantly raising awareness for all children in the community with additional needs.
