Spectrum Care is an independent charitable trust that provides services for children, young people and adults with an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder, and their families.

At Spectrum Care we see the sunflower as representing people who use our services and felt that it was important to show this relationship by incorporating our specially hand-drawn sunflower in our logo.

The vibrant and strong sunflower is widely recognised for its beauty, its many uses and for the sheer joy that it brings to people.

Early in their development the sunflower head turns with, or tracks, the movement of the sun across the horizon. Standing tall and proud - facing the light with its shadow falling behind it.

Sunflowers reach great heights - the plant grows to an average height of six feet, but they may require support to be their best and achieve their full potential; the sunflower plant achieves greatness when it is fully supported. Just like people supported by Spectrum Care can be given the opportunity to reach their full potential when appropriately supported.
