Internships at MAIN

On 20 January, we commenced our three-month internship at MAIN – Taking Autism Personally, in fulfilment of the requirements for our master’s degree programme at Teesside University.

During this period, we had the privilege of working within the Finance Department, where we gained exposure to the financial reporting framework governing charities in the UK – Financial Reporting Standards 102 and the Statement of Recommended Practices. From acquiring a thorough understanding of income and expenditure recognition, classification, and measurement principles, to compiling a comprehensive asset register and adept use of Accounting Software, QuickBooks, the experience has been invaluable in enhancing our professional development and equipping us with essential skills to navigate the evolving landscape of accounting.

As we conclude our internship at MAIN, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Chief Executive Officer, Heather Whyman, for fostering a work environment that promotes dedication, collaboration, and inclusivity. We are also deeply grateful to Finance Manager Nana Kojo Arhinful-Yeboah for the insightful guidance provided through our weekly training sessions and constructive interactions.

We are truly thankful for this opportunity and wish MAIN continued success in all its future endeavours.

MAIN are proud to share our new MINIBUS

 

We’re excited to announce that MAIN has a brand new minibus, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!  Thanks to the incredible support of Awards for All, the National Lottery Fund, and our fantastic community, this new vehicle will make a world of difference to the people we support.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Trust Ford, whose kindness and generosity made this possible. Their contribution means we can continue providing vital transport services to those who rely on us. A special thank you also goes to Mick from The Procurement Partnership (TPPL) for helping to connect all the dots and making this a reality.

The feedback from our children has been awesome! They’re absolutely loving the new minibus, and we’re hearing how much they enjoy the comfortable rides and the exciting features, such as above head storage racks and WIFI connectivity.

This minibus isn’t just a new vehicle—it’s a symbol of the power of community, collaboration, and the impact of generous donations. Whether it’s helping our young people attend events, access services, or simply enjoy a day out, this new addition is going to make a huge difference.

Thank you to everyone who made this happen. We’re looking forwards, to the many journeys ahead!
