An autism support group in the Airedale and Wharfedale region, which also covers Bradford, has received a large cash windfall from the Big Lottery Fund.

The parent-run group AWARE was told late last year it had been granted £219,526 over a three-year period to help with core costs.

The charity supports children and young adults on the autistic spectrum with a variety of schemes, from organising activities to helping parents through complicated health, social care and education services.
