Case Study: Autistica achieves action on autism research and policy with JPA Health

Autistica launches Embracing Complexity with JPA Health, growing the coalition to 50+ charities

Autistica, the UK’s leading autism research charity, faced the challenge of supporting individuals who often live with multiple neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) and needed a way to foster greater collaboration across charities and government. They partnered with JPA Health to launch a coalition that could drive integrated support and awareness.

JPA Health created the Embracing Complexity Coalition, launching it with a campaign and a high-profile event in the UK's House of Parliament. The solution successfully secured a commitment from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, who announced a new cross-departmental government body for NDCs. The measurable impact included the coalition growing to over 50 member charities and gaining a direct role in re-designing the government’s autism strategy.
