A Very Special Walk (AVSW)

A Very Special Walk (AVSW) is the signature fundraising event of Autism Resource Centre (Singapore) or ARC(S).

Since 2005, it has taken on various forms of activities, ranging from walk, walk + run, concerts, carnivals and even movie treats! This year marks our third virtual campaign, with the theme “A Very Special Journey”. As ARC(S) journeys with individuals on the autism spectrum through adulthood, we continue to build services to meet their growing needs. These include employment, lifelong learning, tr

aining for independent living and residential housing options. Funds raised will go towards supporting programmes and services that ARC(S) offers to empower individuals on the autism spectrum to lead meaningful and independent lives.

A Very Special Photo Challenge has come to a close, and we are truly grateful. ❤️

Thanks to our buddies, fundraisers, participants, donors, and friends, we've raised just over 65% of our target. While we didn’t reach the full amount, every donation, photo, share, and cheer made a real difference. Your support is creating real impact for adults on the autism spectrum, enabling them to access training, secure jobs, and build independent, meaningful lives.

Take a moment to view our Wrap-Up Video and see the highlights and impact you’ve made.

🙌 Special shoutout to our Top Fundraisers, whose dedication and creativity inspired others and kept the campaign momentum strong.
