Georgia Holden-Burnett
MHEP Deputy Manager
I am Deputy Manager at Autism AIM currently managing the Bradford and Craven and AIM Volunteering service, where I support the development and delivery of autistic community-based services that improve accessibility, wellbeing, and equity for autistic people.
My role includes management, partnership working, staff support, and delivering projects that strengthen inclusive and sensory-informed practice across services, such as one-to-one health access work in Bradford.
My work focuses on upholding autistic voice and addressing intersectional barriers faced by autistic people through access audits, professional training, safeguarding work, one-to-one and group peer support, focus groups and advocacy.

Sophia works with Autism AIM clients to understand what matters to them and the support they want. She meets with new clients for their initial navigation appointment, helping them to their identify goals and explore their options.
She assists in answering email enquiries, make referrals to our support service and our peer mentors, and book appointments.
Sophia also works with partner organisations across the third and public sectors to make sure support is joined up and accessible. Alongside this, she keeps records, gathers feedback and data to show the impact of the service, and makes sure everything she does promotes accessibility, equality, and inclusion.
