A Hampshire charity supporting people with autism has organised a raffle to raise money for a mini-bus for their service users.
Autism Hampshire said the bus is needed as using public transport with service-users is becoming more difficult due to social distancing.
A post on the charity's website stated: "Living with the changes and challenges of the current pandemic has been difficult for many people and even more so for the people we support.
"[They] have endured long periods without contact from their families due to lockdown and many of their usual activities outside of the home [have had] to stop."
Residents at the charity’s Southampton-based supported accommodation Bassett House will use the van to access community events.
A link to donate to the raffle can be found here.
After a donation is made, receipts should be forwarded to roisin.smith@autismhampshire.org.uk to receive a ticket number.
Tickets are £2.00 each and can be bought up to December 4.
Over 50 prizes are up for grabs including a £50 Cake Voucher, a family ticket Solent Sky Museum and a hand-painted cocktail glass.
Prizes will be available to collect from a location in Southampton.
