The money will go towards developing a new website to raise awareness of the Lichfield Asperger’s Parents Support (LAPS) group.

“As a parent of a child with a diagnosis of Aspergers, I am delighted that Lichfield Ladies Circle is able to donate and support the work that this group offers,” said Ladies Circle member Tracey Guest. “Asperger’s can have such a huge impact on both the child and their families that their support, networking and information is invaluable.”

The volunteer-led support group runs monthly sessions where parents and guardians can share their experiences of dealing with the various issues that impact on their children.

Helen Hartsorn, from LAPS, added: ‘This donation means so much to us as a group.

“We plan to use the money to to help build and design our new website so we can continue to support current parents and inform prospective families.”
