From Sophie, Countess of Wessex, at the opening of Three Bridges Education Centre

‘This is a subject that is very close to my heart. It is lovely to see the dedication of all the staff. Maybe the rest of the autistic world has a lot to learn from what is happening here. This is an example of how people have started to look outside the box.’

From Lady Mary Holborow, DCVO, President of Spectrum, at the opening of Menna House

‘It’s very good to know that Spectrum provides care homes that feel like ordinary homes, and I’m sure that friends and families appreciate the care that Spectrum gives to their children, brothers and sisters. We are extremely lucky to have Spectrum in this county.’

From Bishop Tim Thornton, Bishop of Truro

‘It is very impressive to see the range of services that Spectrum provides for people with autistic disorders, and to learn about the charity’s plans for further development. Their holistic nature of care for these people is remarkable.'

From Cllr Gill Grant, Mayor of Penryn

‘I am very impressed with the level of professionalism shown by the charity, and the opportunities for its staff to continue with lifelong learning.’

From Richard Rickard, Trustee of the West Cornwall Youth Trust which has twice supported Spectrum with grants

‘We are pleased to be supporting a very deserving charity in this way. Spectrum does excellent work in caring for people with autism, and we are glad to be able to help with the funding for outdoor activity sessions at BF Adventure.’

From Donald Harvey, Chairman of Spectrum

‘Being one of the founder members and Chairman of Spectrum since it’s inception in 1982 I am delighted with the way the organisation has developed. I am very proud of the excellent services it provides and the dedicated work of the staff in supporting both the individual and the family living with autistic spectrum disorders.’
