The A World UK Reviews 

We attended our 1st ever Aworld event at Gulliver’s which included the overnight stay. We all had an amazing time. So many things were thought about such as the entertainment in the starlight venue the night before the takeover day, this was a major highlight for my son as he sat front row for the whole show. The takeover day itself was also amazing and he had such a good time and the wait times were minimal. We found out about your events through the charity shop in Harpurhey. My son goes in every single day after school as part of his routine and the staff are amazing and so understanding to his needs. We have also got the illuminations tram booked in November. We cant wait to attend more events in the future. We will forever be greatful to this amazing charity and everything they do.

Absolutely brilliant, the a world opens the door to opportunities to a lot of experiences that people wouldn’t be able to access, having a child with extra needs is hard enough with the extra costs and the a world offers those experiences without the extra costs and also it is always such a blessing to be around other extra needs parents and families where there is no judgements and plenty of understanding and even some friendships from the events, my daughter has made and kept a few friends from the trips and events the a world offers and any extra needs parent knows, keeping friends is not a easy feat. Thank you A World for all you do and bringing us all together to celebrate our differences as one.

We love this charity's take over events. It's great to spend a day with other families who understand our lives. There's always so much fun to be had and caring acceptance for those who might find the day overwhelming. We're so grateful for these events 🙏

The A world is nothing short of fantastic we have taken part in takeovers to gullivers world and bewilderwood and have just purchased tickets to Blackpool zoo it has meant my child can go on a day out without feeling self conscious about wearing ear defenders and getting overwhelmed because there is no judgement which in turn has meant we can spend time making memories as a family worry free

We attended the gullivers world day and also got to stay over on the Friday night at the gullivers Hotel. The kids had an amazing jam packed evening with lots of fun entertainment and also made some new friends which for my son is not something he does easily. The day at gullivers was another fun day as always and the kids love the rides and also loved bumping into their new friends on the way round. Its amazing to be able to have these events where there is no judgement when my son is having a meltdown or gets sensory overload and has to regulate. These events are wonderful and happy to support the a world too. Emily Ablett

We had a lovely experience at Chester Zoo. My neurodiverse children really enjoyed it at their pace. They gave us a timeslot which was the quietest and perfect for our children to be themselves and do not feel looked at or judged.
I only have kind words for them as we would have never been able to afford the tickets otherwise and get such an appropriate environment for them. The event was on august 2023.

My family recently attended the Gullivers take over. The whole day was so well organised, the staff were all lovely and it felt great to be in a place where my children were safe and there was no judgement.
We’ve been lucky enough to get tickets for a few events now and we’ve loved each and every one.
It’s such an invaluable service that the A World is providing and I hope it continues for years to come.

We love the days out and cannot recommend enough it’s given us experiences as a family which we had thought wouldn’t happen with my little one not being able to cope in a busy environment

The A world has been a life saver for us as a family. We have been to several A world events including Guillivers world and land of lights, and we are looking forward to Blackpool Zoo next year! They are days me and my partner can look forward to as we have no anxiety as it’s a judgment free zone where we can make happy memories and feel comfortable that we don’t have to defend our beautiful son simply for being himself. We feel supported, calm and happy and I know these feelings create a calm atmosphere for our son so we can all enjoy the day together. It is also so lovely to be around other families who are in the same position as us and it is nice for us to chat to other families, gain advice or simply share a smile and understanding. Thank you A world for the amazing job you do. You have no idea how your events make such a difference to our son and families like us. Katie Smith.

I can't recommend The A World highly enough from days out, holidays, online support and the local charity shops.
The planning that goes behind all events offered to families is meticulous. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed and the planning must surely be around the clock the way events are executed.
The communication between the charity and the people benefiting from its services is superb.

This is our 2nd stay at the A world caravans we cant thank them enough for giving us this opportunity to spend quality time together, we had an amazing time and made great memories.

Had an amazing day! Staff were relaxed and helpful. It's was nice and quiet which helped keep the kids calm. They loved having space whilst accessing the facilities. 100% will be returning to bewilderwoods with 'The A World'

Amazing days out we love these events as a family so much easier with our son eric. There Quiter no queing on rides etc great family days

The A World is an amazing supportive organisation. Their funded events and holidays are fantastic for autistic individuals and their families. We really enjoyed our time at the Diggerland takeover last week. It was relaxing with less queuing and such a calm environment. As a family we wouldn't normally think of going to a theme park but the A World makes it happen. We also enjoyed the lovely Twixmas experience at Gulliver's World just after Christmas.
We are looking forward to staying at the Haven caravan later on this year and we really value the A World's free collection service of our pre loved items for their stores. I saw some of our recently donated items in my local store's window. That was such a lovely feeling. Thank you the A World for all your truly amazing work😊

A trip to Gullivers wouldn't have been possible without the hard work by The A World. Thanks to them my family were able to enjoy a lovely day out and make some lasting memories. Thank you :)

The A World has made it possible for our boys to access and enjoy places they wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to. Such a fantastic organisation supporting so many families! We’ve had great experiences at Gullivers, Eureka & Diggerland, and we have Bewilderwood booked in next month, we can’t wait!

The A world asked if myself & family would like a holiday to Haven.. we jumped at the chance.
What an absolute amazing time we had. Making memories that would last a life time. Watching our boys living there best life. Was just the absolute best feeling ever. What did make it more memorable was my 4 year old who’s Autistic lost his first tooth while we was away, I don’t know who was more emotional.. me or the little one (lol)
This charity gave my family a chance to have a break from the crazy life we have at home, we needed it!! We didn’t want to leave.
This amazing charity made this possible for us. We can’t thank them enough.

The A World have supported our family through the event days and through the holiday caravan in Blackpool. The event days at gullivers and diggerland have been absolutely fantastic, the most autism friendly days we have ever had they are completely inclusive and every detail has been fully thought about from the number of guests, to the queue times, to the relaxed atmosphere, to the booking process, to the social stories to help prepare before hand, and not to forget the amazing photographer capturing all the smiles of the day. We have previously had to abandon days out very early on due to the distress and meltdowns but can honestly say we have never had this with the a worlds takeover events. We absolutely love them and they are very much a lifeline for our family. Thank you A World!!

The A-World has given our family opportunities we would be too anxious to do without their mega take overs due to the overwhelming business and waiting in usual times at various attractions which are two things our son struggles with. It gives him opportunities to do things he may of never done before such as Diggerland - he went on the spindizzy which was incredible to see!
We have done two events with A-World and are eager to do more when we can book on to them. We really appreciate the time and care that they give families and we need more of this in the world.

Thank you A-World x

The A world have given my family back a sense of normality. We can finally enjoy days out as a family without the worry of our boys getting stressed out by massive queues, too many people, loud noises etc.
We don't have to worry about other people staring if my youngest is swimming or even if there happens to be a meltdown because everyone else is in the same boat. We all understand and support. Thankyou so much A world, you are amazing.
