Autism NI has been announced as the winner of the UK Employer of the Year at The Investors in People Awards 2021. The Northern Ireland charity beat off heavy competition from hundreds of organisations throughout the UK to win the prestigious award.

As a local charity, we have experienced many challenges over the past 18 months due to the Covid 19 pandemic.  However, our team’s resilience and determination to develop new ways of working, has allowed us to support more families than ever before.  The staff morale and commitment shone through during what has been a very difficult period. 
 I am therefore very proud that Autism NI’s work and good governance has been recognised nationally.  This award will provide a great morale boost for our staff that have worked so hard for our autism community in Northern Ireland.

The Investors in People Awards 2021 was a record breaking year in regards to the number of entries and number of organisations entering.  I am so proud of every organisation that entered this year, demonstrating their fantastic commitment to making the work environment better. As a winner, Autism NI really stood out amongst the crowd. A huge well done to all involved!
