Dr Jayne Moran founded Faraway after persuading the local Commissioner to fund some Autism Mentor posts. This was specifically so we could employ Autistic people to support other Autistic People – something members of the Adult Autism Forum (AAF) had been asking for since Jayne and Thomas Jones had created this space in 2016 for local Autistic Adults to have a say in how they want to receive support in North East Lincolnshire.

Jayne’s dream for Faraway is for it to become completely led by Autistic people and she is working her socks off to enable this to happen!
