We are seeing an increasing number of families reaching out for support and advice. While we are parents of children with additional needs and can share our own experiences, we are not trained parent support practitioners and are unable to provide specialist advice or casework support.

Our Hub’s primary focus is to provide activity based opportunities for families, helping to reduce social isolation, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and create connections within the community.

The contact numbers shared in this post are for specialist organisations and services that can provide professional advice, guidance, and support to parents and carers. If you require support beyond what our Hub can offer, we encourage you to contact these services directly, as they are best placed to meet your individual needs.

Closing our Volunteer Week, our spotlight is on our very own Isabelle! 🌟

Isabelle is involved in all things Spectrum. As our official mascot, she brings energy, enthusiasm, and fun to every event. Trained by Cast Academy in drama and performance, she is always ready to entertain and inspire.

Isabelle is also a member of Zentai SKC and has held a licensed black belt since the age of 11. Alongside her many achievements, she generously gives up her time to help and support others within our community.

Her dedication and commitment have been recognised with a Community Shield Award for her outstanding efforts at Spectrum, and we couldn’t be more proud of everything she has accomplished.

Thank you, Isabelle, for all that you do. You are a fantastic role model and a valued member of the Spectrum family. 💜👏

Volunteer Week Spotlight – Connor

As part of Volunteer Week, we are shining the spotlight on another great lad – Connor.

Connor is an important part of the Red Lion Boys and Girls Club and a valued member of our Red Lion All Stars team.

He does a fantastic job helping children build their confidence and develop their skills. No matter how busy his own schedule is, Connor always makes time to support each child and encourage them to reach their potential.

Connor is also a massive help with setting up sessions and supporting our events, always willing to lend a hand whenever needed.

Thank you, Connor, for all your hard work, dedication, and support. We are so grateful to have you as part of the team, and we truly appreciate everything you do.

Well done, Connor! 👏⭐️
