RESONANCE GROWING ENTERPRISES 2024 SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT
Spectrum Days
Providing specialist support for people with profound multiple learning disabilities and their families.
Organisation: Spectrum Days
Location: Worcestershire and Staffordshire
Partnership date: December 2020
Investment amount: £100,000
Resonance fund: West Midlands SITR Fund
Our Investment
Resonance invested £100,000 through the West Midlands SITR Fund to enable Spectrum Days to purchase new accessible minibuses, ensuring members could travel safely between their homes and the charity's centre.
Our Impact
The investment has strengthened Spectrum Days' ability to reach more people with complex needs by improving access to its specialist services. The additional transport capacity has enabled more members to attend the centre, reducing barriers to participation and ensuring more families can benefit from the charity's personalised support, respite services and opportunities for social connection.
Maggie Allen, Spectrum’s Chief Executive: “The investment has come at a really important time for the charity. Our vehicles are aged and expensive to maintain, so we are replacing our fleet. […] Our service is niche, providing specialist support to people with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). We cover the whole of Central and North Worcestershire with our members travelling as much as 20 miles to benefit from our specialist service, so transport is vital to our members and their families. People like Richard and his parents. Nothing is simple for Richard. He needs total support with every aspect of his life. If his mum Caron had to get him ready for his day and bring him into our service and repeat this activity at the end of the day, she wouldn't be able to work. […] Richard enjoys a wide range of experiences and therapies in the time he spends with us. Our transport means he can access not only the fantastic range of resources and equipment in our building, but he can be a part of this community, be with his friends and enjoy the same range of activities we all enjoy.”
Caron, Richard’s mum: “Spectrum Days is our lifeline. We can send our son here, safe in the knowledge that he will have the very best care in a fun and stimulating environment. Spectrum Days provides a full and varied range of member-specific activities where they operate with an exceptionally high health and safety protocol, ensuring that the health and wellbeing of all staff and members are of the utmost importance. […] The provision of care that Spectrum Days provide is invaluable to both the members and their families. It offers a bespoke, caring, friendly and professional service at all times and we highly recommend them.”
