Our corporate charity partnership with the Trussell Trust began in June 2019. The Trussell Trust’s vital work supports over 1,200 food banks across the UK, while campaigning to ensure everyone can afford their own food. As the pandemic unfolds, more people than ever are expected to need a food bank.
There are 700,000 autistic people in the UK, and trips to the shops can be stressful for autistic adults and children. Frustration or anxiety can be caused by not understanding why we need to shop or what will happen during shopping, and individuals can be overwhelmed by sensory experiences in retail environments. NewRiver is proud to participate in the National Autistic Society's Autism Hour initiative, ensuring centres and their occupiers adapt their environments to make autistic shoppers more comfortable and reduce sensory overload.
This includes:
Launched in 2017, the Autism Hour campaign runs every October, and the National Autistic Society encourages businesses to hold their own Autism Hour sessions regularly throughout the year. ATW had 16 centres participate in the 2018 campaign, with over half now hosting regular Autism Hour sessions throughout the year. Several of our centres have also created pre-visit sensory guides to enhance the shopping experience for autistic individuals.
Most people will feel lonely at some points in their lives, but for a growing number of people, particularly those in later life, loneliness can have a significant impact on their wellbeing. According to Age UK, the UK has 3.6 million older people living alone, of whom 2 million are aged 75 or older.
In association with Age UK and other elderly charities, a number of our centres – including The Forum in Wallsend, Priory Meadow Shopping Centre in Hastings,and Hillstreet Shopping Centre in Middlesbrough – host regular events for old people promoting friendship and providing activities.
