A Very Special Walk (AVSW) is the signature fundraising event of Autism Resource Centre (Singapore). Since 2005, there has been different renditions, ranging from walk, concert, carnival and movie treats.
This year, AVSW will flag off a run and a walk, and ending off with a carnival and concert.
The funds raised will be used to help adults with the Employability and Employment (E2C).
The Employability and Employment Centre (E2C) was launched by ARC(S) in 2012. It aims to equip adults with autism with employability skills through essential job training and support to match and place them in suitable jobs. It has been proven that with the right training, placement and support, people with autism can work and be productive.
