Children who have siblings with autism are telling their stories.

A unique project will culminate in a free drama performance at the Charles Cryer Studio Theatre.

The Awards For All is a funded collaboration between a theatre company, Tangled Feet, and Rainbow SIBS, a support group for children whose siblings have autism.

The event will also mark the launch of a new Sutton branch of the National Autistic Society.

Through performance they hope to raise awareness of the challenges for siblings, highlighting the need for communities to better understand issues surrounding autism.
