About us
Autism Initiatives was founded in 1971 by Pat Minshull – a proud parent of a child with autism and an advocate for increased awareness, more understanding and better Autism-specific services within the area of Mersyside and beyond.
Pat’s primary concern was in relation to her son Peter’s education and with a group of supporters she successfully raised the funds needed to purchase a property in Southport, where she founded Peterhouse School in 1973. Over time, Pat’s vision developed as her son’s needs changed with age. As Peter moved through the school and on towards adulthood, a need for adult services for people with autism became evident.
After another highly successful fundraising campaign, Pat and her supporters were able to purchase premises in Crosby, Merseyside and the Petersfield Autistic Community was established in 1986. This community soon became home to Peter and a number of other young adults with Autism.
To this day, Peter continues to be supported by Autism Initiatives and lives happily and fully supported not too far from his original family home.
Sadly, Pat Minshull is no longer with us but her vision and passion inspires Autism Initiatives each day. We remain a parent-led charity and deliver direct services to over 3000 individuals diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Condition.

Haroon A. asked:Good Evening, Is there anyone in the group who are dealing within the care home sector in Scotland or knows clients looking to buy care home in Scotland. We have a client who has ran into difficulties operating the care home and now no longer functioning. They are behind on there commercial loan by 5 months and the banks are getting very aggressive. Cutting the long story short we had a local operator of care homes who was very keen to purchase and all of a sudden has pulled out. Vendor is open to options and Lease Option will be considered for 10-15 Years and then an Option To Purchase. I would appreciate someone with the knowledge and help as it's a very URGENT matter. While I have had this for some months but I have been personally working on it but too many people have wasted time and require some serious person who can help as vendors have limited options or bankruptcy/insolvency left as last resort. Thanks Haroon AliTina W. replied:Haroon, had a chat with a few contacts and whilst they don't buy in Scotland they have given me a couple of companies that work in Scotland, that you could get in touch with: www.autisminitiatives.org (Richard Ibbotson - National Drector) Tel: 0131 551 7260 & www.quarriers.org.uk (Alice Drife (CEO) Tel: 01505 612224 - Both of these companies provide care across Scotland and are worth contacting to see if they would be interested and can help - Sorry I can't do more - Good luck!
