Christmas campaign 2023
Updated: Nov 9
We have decided to do it slightly differently this year. We ask that all 25 banners go on display on the 1st of December and remain hanging until January. Each day we will put out a post with “In association with (days location) and Service Graphics” in the sign off part of the post. The posts themselves will be from followers, other autistic people and advocates, or staff of the business’s and companies involved.
We wanted the Christmas campaign to be about community, compassion and belonging. It is in this spirit that we are opening up the posts to anyone that would like to write one. It can be a favourite memory or the season, a viewpoint of a different culture, the spirit of renewal or a poem/other creative post.
We tend to make posts up to the size of a single Instagram posting, which is 2200 characters. We suggest any submissions a maximum of 1800 to 2000 characters (including spaces). Please just email us at ross.fraser@mylifeautistic.com and jeni.dern@mylifeautistic.com with “Christmas posts” in the heading.
We will reply to any emails that we can, but will aim to contact everyone with a post that will be included in the campaign before the 1st of December.
