How you can help
There are a number of ways you can help us
The Toby Henderson Trust (TTHT) is an independently funded charity supporting autistic children, young people and adults, their families and carers in the North East of England. We rely on funds raised by families and the community to help us offer our services.
There are a number of ways you can help us to continue with the valuable services we offer. If you’re wondering where your money goes and how it helps us here at The Toby Henderson Trust here are some examples of the way your money could be re-invested into our charitable service offer:
- £3 would fund a cuppa for anyone visiting Toby House.
- £5 could pay for basic necessities that we need here at Toby House such as a pack of toilet roll (which we go through a lot).
- £15 will fund one young person to attend one of our Sibling Superstars sessions.
- £17.49 would pay for one business Zoom account per month (we currently have 6 accounts which are used for our non funded family support sessions).
- £20 could buy a game for us to use with our groups.
- £120 will fund an off-site activity such as Clip and Climb with one of our 4 monthly MATES groups.
- £150 could pay for one online support group for families of autistic girls.
- £780 would fund 12 therapy sessions with children which includes an initial intake with parents.
- A purchase of a gift from our Amazon Wishlist could provide us with a new book to use at our monthly book club group for families or a resource that we would incorporate into our sessions with children and young people. Not forgetting basic necessities that we need here at Toby House such as toilet roll, hand wash and paper hand towels.

Fundraising
We have been lucky to receive money through people organising fundraising events such as pub quizzes, karaoke nights etc. or having done a fundraiser at a special occasion or celebration. We have had people running for our charity, setting themselves personal targets or even just keeping one of our donation tins nearby for spare change.

Facebook Birthday Fundraiser
Thank you to everyone who has set up a FACEBOOK birthday fundraiser for us.
All money raised via Facebook Fundraisers directly benefits our services – a great way for families to support us.
If you’d like to consider supporting us in this way you can set yours up here – https://buff.ly/3DXCifw
Volunteer with Team Toby
We are so grateful to our Team Toby volunteers.
As a small charity, the continued support to the Trust is always truly appreciated.
If you would like to volunteer, whether it be tidying up Toby’s Garden or picking up a paintbrush, please get in touch on 0300 3653055.
Leave a gift to us in your will
In your will you could decide to leave a defined amount of money as a gift. This will be sent direct to us and will help us continue our work.
Or maybe you would like to arrange a donation in memory of a loved one or friend. This is an incredible way to remember someone special. Many people choose to remember their loved one by asking family and friends to make a donation to our charity instead of buying flowers.
Whichever way you decide to donate, you can know that all donations help us deliver the specialist care that is needed for both children and the families struggling with autism.
Support awareness and understanding within communities
TTHT are so passionate about doing what we can, to not only support children, young people and their families, but also help support awareness and understanding within communities on how we can all play our part in making our local areas more inclusive.
With the help of some of our neurodivergent team members we have created a one-page poster that can be downloaded, shared, printed and displayed with tips to ‘do our bit’ in making our communities more inclusive and simply spreading love & understanding in the Northeast.
To download the poster, please click here.
A big thank you to the companies who support us
