17th - 21st March 2025

Step up to this challenge and join Secondary schools and youth organisations across Northern Ireland by taking part in Autism NI’s Movin’ March challenge. 

Students of St Colmans College, Newry smile and hold signs spelling '£2342'

We’re encouraging students to walk/run 5k every day for a whole school week. With over 15,000 school age children having an autism diagnosis in Northern Ireland, this is a great opportunity for pupils to support their peers and raise understanding and acceptance of autism, as well as fundraising for local autism services.

To take part, each pupil will receive a sponsor form. Pupils can also use a ‘smart watch’ or pedometer to count their steps. On completion, each pupil will receive a certificate to recognise their achievement.

We’d love your school to join our campaign and help create a society that works best for autistic children across Northern Ireland.
