Javea charity event to support people with autism and their families

A charity event supporting people with autism and their families will take place in Javea on Saturday, November 7, bringing the local community together for a day dedicated to inclusion and community spirit. The MarinaTEA Charity Event will be held at Casa de les Pedres, on Calle Mezquida 8, from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The event will raise awareness and support for the Asociación Autismo Marina Alta, a non-profit organisation working to improve the quality of life of people with autism across the Marina Alta region.

MarinaTEA promotes autism awareness and inclusion

MarinaTEA works with people with autism and their families through therapeutic, educational and recreational programmes designed around individual needs. The association also promotes greater awareness and understanding of autism, encouraging inclusion in schools, workplaces and wider society. Founded in 2015 as a local initiative, the organisation has since expanded its work across the Marina Alta area, bringing together professionals, families and people with autism to improve access to support and resources.

The charity’s work focuses on helping people with autism develop their abilities while recognising the important role families play in their care and development. It also advocates for the rights of people with autism and promotes a more inclusive community.

Supporting people with autism and their families

One of MarinaTEA’s ambitions is to develop a day centre for people with autism, providing a dedicated space for support, activities and social participation. The association has identified Casa de les Pedres as the site for this future project, making the venue particularly relevant to its long-term plans. The building, located in the Duanes de la Mar area of Javea, has been earmarked for conversion into a centre that could help the organisation expand its services and provide additional support to local families.

Community fundraising and public participation can play an important role in helping initiatives like this progress, while also raising awareness of the needs of people with autism.
