URGENT APPEAL – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

We are urgently seeking a sponsor to help us sustain our Spectrum Support Hub and make it truly sustainable for everyone who relies on it.

Every single day, we are working hard and continuing to fight for the children, young people, and families who need us most. Our hub exists to support the entire Additional Learning Needs (ALN) community, and without vital funding, this support is at risk.

We want to say a huge thank you to:
• Our amazing parents Ashley and Rachel for taking on personal challenges to raise funds
• Everyone who has bought a bonus ball number
• Everyone who has donated, purchased raffle tickets and supported our raffles

Your kindness and belief in what we do keeps us going but we still need help.

If you are a business, organisation, or individual who can sponsor or support us, now is the time. Your support will directly help us continue providing a safe, inclusive, and essential service for the ALN community.

Please stand with us.
Please help us keep this lifeline open.
Together, we can make sure no one is left without support.

💙 Just a bit of insight into Spectrum Support Hub 💙

Over the last 7 days, our hub has been incredibly busy running inclusive sessions, support groups, and our popular Walk & Talk dates. These activities are making a real difference to people across Merthyr Tydfil and now surrounding areas.

At present, Spectrum Support Hub is a fully voluntary service. We receive limited or no funding, yet we continue to support a growing community who rely on us for understanding, inclusion, and emotional support.

To keep our hub running, we regularly hold bonus ball draws and raffles, but we are now reaching a point where we urgently need sponsors and additional support.

🙏 We are asking for help 🙏
If you are a business, organisation, or individual who could sponsor us, donate, or offer support in any way, please get in touch. Your help would allow us to continue supporting children, adults, and families across our community who need us most.

Every share, message, and offer of support truly makes a difference.
Thank you for standing with us 💙

All individuals deserve to be treated fairly, with dignity and respect. This includes people across the full spectrum of needs and abilities, especially those within the Additional Learning Needs (ALN) community.

Everyone deserves understanding, support, and equal opportunities, regardless of how they learn, communicate, or experience the world. Inclusion, kindness, and respect should always be at the heart of our communities.

Let’s stand together to ensure that everyone feels valued, heard, and supported.

We don’t share our parenting journey for sympathy.
If sympathy could make our children speak, regulate, or make this road easier… trust me, we would take it. But it doesn’t.

We share because somewhere out there is another special needs parent sitting in survival mode, exhausted, unseen, wondering if they’re the only one carrying this weight.

You’re not.

This life is already heavy. Doing it while feeling unsupported is heavier. But opening your phone and seeing other parents still standing, still fighting, still loving hard on the same battlefield? That matters. Even if it only helps for a moment.

Over this past year our inbox has filled with messages from parents telling us we have helped them breathe again. Helped them feel stronger. Helped them keep going mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And that? That means everything to us.
We know the purpose.
It’s to speak up. To show up. To motivate and remind parents like me that we’re not weak we’re warriors.

So no, we won’t stop. 💙

We’re so lucky to have our team member Katie, who runs Huff + Puff Balloons ✨
She’s also an ALN mum and a valued Spectrum team member.

Katie’s work is absolutely outstanding, and she brings so much understanding, patience, and heart especially when it comes to additional learning needs.

Please give her page a follow and show some love this Saturday 🙌🎉
You won’t be disappointed!
