What The Sense

Another step forward for What The Sense!
Today i have completed Safeguarding & Protection training for Adults and Children in Edinburgh!

While we continue searching for our forever home and preparing to launch our mobile sensory sessions next year, there’s so much work happening behind the scenes to ensure What The Sense is a safe, welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone.

Safeguarding is an important part of that journey, especially when working with children, vulnerable adults and people with additional support needs.

Every bit of training, planning and preparation brings us another step closer to creating What The Sense 🌈💜

Just to let parents, carers and everyone know that there’s a meeting that will shape what the Council and Community Trust prioritise for the next 5 years, this Saturday 31st October 10am-1pm at the Campus.

They’ll listen to what the community says it needs most, so if we don’t speak up at the right place about the lack of inclusive spaces and facilities, how will they know?

I’ve been working hard on What The Sense to create a first of its kind sensory & illusion activity centre, This is a real opportunity for your voices to be heard too, and for us to show just how much our community would benefit from a space like this.

If you believe Crieff deserves more exciting things to see and do, alongside better inclusive activities and facilities for those with additional support needs, please pop along!

even briefly 10 minutes would be enough. Share your views that something like what the sense makes sense, It really helps. I’ll be there till 12 on Saturday. If you can’t make it, there’s a final chance Tuesday 3rd November, 6–9pm. We deserve these opportunities in our own community, but they need to see the demand.
Please don’t leave it to one voice..

Exciting things are coming for What The Sense!

We’re planning to launch our sensory sessions in 2027 while we continue searching for our forever home! 🏠

Opening a Sensory & Illusion Activity Centre Remains our ultimate goal, and we’re working hard to take the steps to make it a reality!

Know of any available land or buildings in Crieff? We’re really hoping to stay local, but may need to expand our search across Perthshire to find the right space to bring our vision to life!

Every share, suggestion and bit of support brings us one step closer. 💜

Trying something new to help raise funds for What The Sense!

As many of you know, we’re on a mission to create the world’s first Sensory & Illusion Activity Centre, supporting people with additional needs.

We’ve already organised numerous fundraising events, and we’re currently working on a series of interactive colouring books designed to support children with additional needs. We’ve completed our first two books, which will soon be available on Amazon!

But a project of this size doesn’t come cheap, so we’re always trying to think of new and creative ways to raise funds.

So here’s my latest idea… gift bouquets and hampers!

This is my very first attempt at making one, so please don’t judge too harshly! 😂 There’s definitely room for improvement before I’d consider selling them, but I wanted to see what everyone thinks first.

I’m thinking we could offer a variety of themes, including:

* Sweeties and chocolates
* Sensory toys and fidgets
* Pokémon and gaming
* Girly-themed gifts
* Christmas and seasonal hampers
* Personalised bouquets made to order

We could also make them in different sizes to suit different budgets!

Now I need your opinions!

Would you actually buy something like this if we started selling them?

What themes would you like to see, and what would you be happy to pay?

And if you’ve got any other creative fundraising ideas, please share them!

We’re willing to give just about anything a go to help bring this project to life. Every little bit raised gets us closer to making it happen.

Let me know what you think! 💜

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻💛

It’s estimated that around 80% of disabilities are non-visible. These can include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible, but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in helping everyone feel seen, understood and supported.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower helps people with non-visible disabilities discreetly indicate that they may need additional support, understanding or patience. 🌻

🐪 Right Crieff — even the camel’s had his say, now I need yours 😂

If you live, work or spend time in Crieff, please take a few minutes to fill out the Crieff Community Action Plan survey.

What do you want to see change? What’s missing? What should Crieff look like in the future?

And apparently travelling to Morocco still doesn’t stop me doing Crieff stuff 😂🐪

It genuinely only takes a few minutes 👇

This one is a little more personal 💛
Before What The Sense, before all the plans and ideas, there were tough experiences like this one.

This is the story of how I found out my son had a rare brain condition, through a text message… and the overwhelming stress and uncertainty that followed.

Sharing this because I know there will be other parents who have found themselves suddenly thrown into a world they knew nothing about. If this feels familiar to you, just know that you are not alone💛

Experiences like this are a big part of why What The Sense matters so much to me.
