The Irish Society for Autism's Annual Roseweek Campaign takes place this year on from 10th – 15th October.

During this week our volunteers will be selling roses outside Supermarkets, in Shopping Centres and on the streets nationwide.

Supporting our campaign this year is Michael Hayes, the star of TV3's Animal Hospital, seen here up to his nose in Roses. Michael is a keen supporter of the cause of Autism and is anxious to encourage everybody's support for Roseweek 2011.

Roseweek is one of our main fundraising events of the year with the money raised going towards the further development of services for people with Autism

Roseweek began in 1987 with the goal of raising much needed awareness of Autism. Since then it has continued to raise awareness whilst also providing financial support to allow The Irish Society for Autism to provide our residential services.

The support of volunteers and schools has been vital in the success of Roseweek.

As the recession continues to affect charity fundraising with many charities finding themselves with greater pressure on their ability to provide services the help of volunteers and schools is now even more vital!

We need Volunteers and Schools to come on board and help us sell Roses in Supermarkets, Shopping Centres and Streets across the country.
