My Story
AV Dawson is proud to support Daisy Chain because their work has a real and positive impact on families across our community. Many of our colleagues, friends and their families have accessed Daisy Chain’s services, so we’ve seen firsthand how much their support means.
As a family‑run business rooted in Teesside, we believe in backing charities that make a genuine difference. Daisy Chain’s commitment to inclusion, wellbeing and specialist support reflects our own values and we are proud to stand alongside them in their vital work.
About Daisy Chain
Daisy Chain supports over 8,000 families and neurodiverse individuals each year through specialist, person-centred services. These include social clubs, respite care, wellbeing support, independent living skills, employability programmes and animal therapy.
Our vision is for every person we support to live a life that is enjoyable and meaningful at every stage.
Our mission is to empower autistic and neurodivergent individuals through holistic, inclusive services while promoting understanding, wellbeing and acceptance across the region and nationwide.
Every donation enables Daisy Chain to continue delivering vital support to those who need it most.
About the Great Wall of China Trek
This challenge will take us across remote and historic sections of the Great Wall of China-one of the world’s most iconic and demanding trekking routes. Over several days, participants will face steep climbs, uneven ancient steps and dramatic ridgeline paths, all while taking in extraordinary mountain scenery.
The trek is physically and mentally testing, offering a true sense of achievement and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. By supporting this challenge, donors are directly contributing to Daisy Chain’s work and helping create meaningful, lasting impact for autistic and neurodivergent individuals and their families.
