All the profits will go to the registered charity Anna Kennedy Online, which supports UK families affected by autism, including providing small grants for educational and domestic resources.
Judged by Steven Smith, Angel Sinclair, Dr Pam Spurr and Maggie Paterson, Sam Tomlin, Fiona Shepherd the Winners in each category for 2014 are:

Child with Autism: Sophie Jayne Garner
Young Carers: Demi Stamp and Emma Bell
Anna Kennedy OBE said:
“The idea behind Wear It For Autism was to spoil those who usually never get a chance to treat – or even think – of themselves. Living with autism can be challenging and extremely demanding so we wanted to create a special event, that would be fun for all involved ‘
