Social Group FAQs

Our Social Groups are developed, planned, and facilitated with active involvement of group members and Spectrum Space staff and volunteers. Together, we identify interests and establish goals, planning how to achieve these together. Members then discuss and plan future sessions, which can include incursions, community outings, special guests, and special interest projects.

Using a strengths-based approach centred around special interest projects and diverse social groups, our overall aim is to engage and motivate participants and build feelings of self-worth. Together, we identify interests and establish goals and plan how to achieve these together. Goals might include:

• Developing social skills
• Specific skills development, for example coding, film making, robotics, cooking, art, digital media
• Using technology
• Building friendships
• Developing leadership skills
• Becoming a youth/autism advocate
• Building resilience
• Participating in community activities
• Having fun!

We aim to have a diverse mix of participants in all our groups to ensure everyone feels welcome. In the event of any challenges, our experienced staff and management are here to help.

No, we are a community organisation delivering opportunities for social interaction and skill development through the activities offered. We use a strengths-based approach to concentrate on the inherent strengths an individual has with the goal to focus on the positive.
