About Us
FASS is a support group for families in the Fareham area who have a child or children on the autistic spectrum. FASS organises trips and outings, provides a forum for mutual support and offers advice and information on activities that are happening in the local area.
This is our new logo.
The smiley face star is the PECS symbol for free time and the yellow ring on the outside represents a life-ring symbolizing the life line that FASS provides for many of our families. FASS has been successful in acquiring registered charity status. We are now officially registered charity number 1130386.
The Team
The FASS committee (from left to right): Rachel, Susie, Mick, Kate, Annette, Alyson and Kathryn.
To find out more about FASS, or to make a donation, please contact Susie Maddy, the group founder and co-ordinator, on 07900297267. Alternatively you can email FASSadmin@googlemail.com, write to FASS, c/o 5 Park Approach, Knowle, Fareham, Hampshire, PO17 5LQ.
Funding for established groups is extremely difficult to obtain, so unfortunately the committee has had to come to the decision that an annual membership fee will still apply. This is not a large amount and is used to cover postage and administration costs. Please download a membership form. Fees are due by 1st April 2012. Please send your cheque, made payable to Fareham Autistic Spectrum Support, to Susie Maddy.
Now that FASS is a registered charity we are eligible for gift aid. This means that the government gives us an extra 28p for every £1 of voluntary donations and membership fees, if they have been paid by a UK tax payer who has signed a gift aid declaration. If you are a UK tax payer, and you have not already signed a gift aid form for FASS, please download the declaration, tick the third box, fill in your details, sign the form and send it to The Treasurer, FASS, 97 Trinity Street, Fareham, Hampshire, PO16 7SL. Thank you.
