Sheaffer is proud to announce a new partnership for 2012 with the National Autistic Society, the leading charity in the UK for people with autism and the people who help them. National Autistic Society
Our new partnership comes at a time when the National Autistic Society (NAS) celebrates 50 years of making a difference for people living with autism. Founded in 1962 by a group of friends, the NAS now has over 20,000 members, 100 branches, and 1000’s of volunteers.
The partnership will focus on communication and education, important issues for both the NAS and Sheaffer. Sheaffer is sponsoring this year’s Spectrum Ball, the National Autistic Society's most high-profile annual fundraising event that helps support vital services for people living with autism.
"As a company that promotes writing, encouraging communication and education is at the heart of everything Sheaffer does", says Tim Williams, General Manager of Sheaffer Pen. "We are committed to helping the NAS communicate their message to the public and to bring awareness to this worthy cause."
Alastair Graham, Director of Fundraising and Marketing for the NAS, said: "We're delighted to be in partnership with Sheaffer, as we celebrate half a century of making a difference to the lives of people living with autism."
