The object of Spectrum Gaming is the promotion of social inclusion among autistic young people (diagnosed or suspected) who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of being autistic by: • Running an online community for autistic young people, which focuses on: Enabling young people to create new friendships, Improving their mental health and well-being and by Giving young people the confidence and skills to meet their goals and aspirations. • Educating young people, their parents and professionals about autism, internet safety and other topics which are important to our community. • Promoting the views of young people and both advocating for them, and providing them with the knowledge/skills to be able to advocate for themselves. • Supporting other organisations to create and develop groups/ activities for autistic young people, both physically and online. • running other projects, campaigns and activities based on the priorities and needs of the young people in our community including running face to face social groups and activities around their interests.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Jamie and I (James) are going to be cycling more than 500km home from university at the end of this term from Durham, about 15 miles south of Newcastle, to Reading in Berkshire. Our target is to complete the trip in 48 hours.

This project is all to raise money for Spectrum Gaming, a charity which provides an otherwise scarce social network for neurodivergent and autistic young people. Predominantly, the charity runs an online community within which people can bond and have fun through the medium of gaming and other activities. All money donated will make a huge difference to the lives of many individuals, who without this support can find their mental health a real issue.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
