Spectrum Testimonials

“Spectrum has a fantastic family to feel it and really understand the finer details. Their events are superb, often unique and cater really well for a wide ranging audience. They always deliver in both a hugely considerate and stunning way. Spectacular support.”

“We are so lucky to be part of the ever growing Spectrum Family. Spectrum amaze us no end with the trips and opportunities organised for the children and their families. But for us, as a family with a child in a wheelchair and complex medical needs it’s the finer details that make such a difference. It’s talking to her not over her. It’s sitting in the front row at the panto so she can focus. It’s catching that moment on camera for us because we’ve run out of hands. It’s knowing they’re there if we need an extra pair of hands or listening ear.  Spectrum is about fun, ability and friendship.” 

“I love my Spectrum days out. Everyone is so friendly and no one looks at me differently or points at me. I feel accepted and always smile when I know it’s a Spectrum trip.”

“I have been a member and now volunteer with Spectrum and it is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. This is a close knit family of likeminded people with the sole purpose of making a difference and improving the lives of the members we support.”

“Thank you for a wonderful family day, yesterday. Loved every minute despite, the aching feet! Thank you once again for a fantastic outing!”

“What a great morning at Breakfast with Santa! – Just wanted to take the opportunity to say a massive thank you to Justin & Alex for everything you do to make Spectrum what it is and another thank you to all the team and our members for making it all the more fun!”

“It was so lovely to meet you all today! Thank you Spectrum for a wonderful day!! “

“Huge thank you to all of Spectrum Cambridge, for all the behind the scenes hard work, the dedication and drive of  Justin Heron and all the team. We have had the best year of activities topped off with Santa this morning!”

“Thanks for another amazing event this morning and for everything you do. It really is so very much appreciated!”

“It can sometimes be quite isolating with a special needs child, so we are grateful to have recently found Spectrum. Everyone is so welcoming, and with the vast range of supported activities on offer, family days out are more affordable and there is plenty our 7 year old son is excited to take part in.  The Clip ‘n Climb sessions have been amazing, as he would not have had the confidence to try this in a normal setting.  We are also looking forward to trips to Legoland, Warwick Castle, and the Harry Potter Studios this year.”

“Spectrum is a good place for children who want to have fun, learning & making friends.”

“I feel like I’ve made friends for life & also able to go on days out to places with my son without feeling watched & judged by others. I’ve been totally supported by those around me.”

“The pantomime was one of my favourite outings with Spectrum. Looking forward to the next one!”

“I think it’s good Spectrum are able to facilitate outings that you wouldn’t usually be able to do with your child with additional needs.”

“Spectrum makes so many family’s happy with what they do. The outings trips etc. are made possible with Spectrum!”

“To allow my son the chance to do ‘normal’ activities, with others that understand and do not judge is just what every parent wants for their child. Support from staff and other families is a breathe of fresh air, when at activities. Having dates in the diary to actually look forward too is quite amazing for us. Spectrum has allowed us all of these, I wish I had found them sooner!”

“Never thought I would try climbing but being able to do it with others like me was awesome, I’m going again!”

“My autistic child has poor and delayed motor skills so the Clip n’ Climb session is ideal for him to help develop his physical ability.  Spectrum organises this, so he can do this in a safe and supportive environment.  On top of that, from his point of view – it’s a lot of fun!”

“Spectrum is fun, I really like it when we go to Clip n’ Climb. The zoo was great fun too!”

“I love going places with Spectrum because they are exciting and fun and they are places that I haven’t been to. The people at Spectrum are always kind and helpful.”

“I love Spectrum because of its fun day trips which are awesome. My favourite day out so far was The Natural History Museum because I love science and I can’t wait for Euro Disney! I love that I an be myself and people don’t judge me. The people at Spectrum are always friendly, kind and willing to help.”

“I feel that Spectrum is an invaluable source of support for my family and it’s without a doubt one of the best things our family has ever discovered! We have experienced some amazing day trips and events which we adore. I particularly enjoyed The Natural History museum and the adult Faulty Towers evening which was so much fun! I am really looking forward to our trip to Warwick Castle in a few months. Spectrum has truly changed our lives, it has allowed my son to feel positive about his disability and it has allowed us to find a support network of people with similar life situations. This charity is such a special and magical aspect of our lives.”

“I love the opportunity to let my children enjoy a unique event without social pressure. The day trips inspire creative thinking and are simply a delight every time. I am so happy Spectrum as an outlet for me and my family. My favourite event so far was Breakfast with Santa it was amazing and I am a believer once again!”

“Spectrum has been a life line for our family, not only have we had some amazing experiences with the events but we have also met a very supportive team and hopefully some life long friends. We can not thank Spectrum and the team enough for all that they do.”

“We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Spectrum and are looking forward to supporting the charity. At Hilton Hotels & Resorts, we’re dedicated to supporting local charities that play such a vital role in our community and our team at Hilton Cambridge City Centre is keen to raise awareness for this deserving cause.”

“It’s an absolute pleasure to support Spectrum, which we’ve done since they started up as a charity. The Spectrum team are also real gems to work with and run the charity with heart and dedication. I would strongly recommend other businesses to look at supporting this fantastic charity.”

“Spectrum is a great organisation, run by fabulous people who care about the families that Spectrum support. Spectrum gives families the opportunity to experience days out with other families who understand how difficult things can be, whilst not being judgemental.”

“Justin and Amanda were super helpful and extremely responsive. An excellent example of how customer service should be! Thank you both for helping us. “

“The change it makes to my son’s confidence when attending Spectrum activities is astonishing. And this has a massively positive impact on us as a whole family. Spectrum are a wonderfully welcoming team who are unfazed and unfailingly supportive of all differing needs. A very special group indeed! “

“Spectrum are awesome. It is fun. I have an amazing time. I like doing the trips and days out with them.”
