Spectrum Gaming

Who we are

Spectrum Gaming is a charity built by autistic young people for autistic young people, following their guidance on what's important and relevant to them. Our four main areas of work currently are;

• Online Services - We provide a safe space online supervised by trusted adults where young people can explore, connect and grow with others.
• Face-to-Face Services - We offer opportunities for young people to meet with others and undertake positive activities together.
• Advocacy - We work with our young people, parents and partners to identify the priorities of young people and create proactive projects/ resources that address these priorities.
• Training - We offer training and guidance to those who need it most, and build a community who share our passion and vision to create change.

Our Vision : To create a world where autistic young people can reach their true potential

Our Mission : We aim to create a world where every autistic child knows that who they are is ok and they can be themselves, whilst still developing meaningful relationships and achieving their personal goals.

We do this by providing spaces where they feel safe and accepted, amongst others with similar shared lived experiences, and opportunities to explore who they are.

We want all autistic young people to have the strength and confidence to find their place in the world that works for them. In many cases this means influencing wider strategic changes to create an environment that is more understanding and equitable.

Our Values: 

• Child-centred : We work with our young people in equal partnership, to achieve what’s important for them.
• Reflective : We always try our best, encouraging challenge and change in order to learn and improve.
• Attentive : We prioritise the needs of our community to ensure that changes do not compromise their experience and help achieve excellence.
