It gives me great pleasure to recognise and celebrate the Autism Advisory and Support Service [AASS] on the success of its 2023 Foundation of Hope charity ball, which was held on Saturday 6 May. The event raised in excess of $100,000. These funds will be used so that AASS can continue to perform its invaluable work of assisting and filling gaps in service provision for individuals with autism and their families. The work of the organisation empowers children and adults with autism and their families through knowledge and support, and assists them to positively impact and influence their children's social and emotional development. I congratulate the founder and CEO of AASS, Grace Fava, OAM, and her hardworking team on what they do for our community on a daily basis. I also thank the sponsors, various donors and guests, the volunteers and the AASS family of clients for coming together to make the event such a success. I look forward to seeing the impact of these funds within the Liverpool electorate over the coming year.
