FeatureTurning a simple shed into a sensory sanctuary

That’s why when they applied for our Small Community Grant, we were delighted to be able to support a project with such a wonderful aim.

With the grant of £500,  they purchased a shed which they converted into a sensory area. This became a dedicated space for pupils to focus on quiet time and to enjoy reading books.

We are pleased to report that the sensory shed is still a much-used resource and has had a positive impact in the day-to-day life of the school. It's also helped to improve the children’s mental health by providing them with a space to relax and reflect.

Our Small Community Grants are committed to supporting community-led ideas and initiatives, just like this sensory shed, and we look forward to working with many other local community projects in the near future.
