A REDHILL-based charity Autism AllStars has been listed as one of the country's 100 best causes - but needs public support.
The Top 100 Good Causes list, published each month by Bacs - which oversees payments between banks, gives 100 charities a chance to win a share of £5,000.
Groups are nominated for the shortlist, which is then put to a public vote, with the winner receiving £2,000, the runner-up £1,000 and the rest split between 20 other runners-up.
Despite lagging behind in the votes at the moment, Autism AllStars founder Helen Wallace-Iles believes the group can catch up by the close of voting at the end of the month.
She said: "We have a long way to go to reach the top, but with April being Autism Awareness month, I know we can do it.
"Winning this would make a really positive statement about raising autism awareness and with your help, I'm 100% confident we'll do it."
She added: "It's a really big thing for us to be short-listed like this, and £2,000 would make a massive difference to what we can achieve this year."
