Spectrum Cambridge are a multi-award winning, parent led charity, providing events and support for families of children with Autism, additional needs, learning difficulties and disabilities. We are family focused and passionate about inclusion and supporting Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND).
We support children to be themselves without judgement to improve their social development and wellbeing. We work hard with the local community and our corporate partners to deliver our end to end support methodology as well as new opportunities for the families we assist. We are based on the Cambridgeshire and Suffolk border, reaching out to Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, their respective surrounding villages and beyond into East Anglia, London, The South and the South East.
Our range of events, activities, days out and sessions for the children and families that we support that focus around social gains, sport, technology, the Arts, entertainment and interaction. We compliment this with parent led support, an online community and family workers to create an environment supportive of a families mental well-being and making the most from creative imagination and fun.
