Here's a link to a report on the uptake and impact of The Centre's Sensory Awareness Workshops, developed by Melissa, and delivered with support from volunteers and other members of our team.

Annual Report 2025 - Sensory Awareness Workshops

At our most recent Centre User Group, each participant shared a word that sums up what The Centre means to them. This word cloud is made up of the words they used.

Image is a turquoise square with a heart in the centre. The heart shape is made up of the words Purpose, Calaidh, Safe-place, Community, Freedom, Confidence, Progress, Incredible, Support, Fellowship, Independence, Strength, Belonging, Enjoyment and Expansion written in dark purple, white and light purple letters. The Forth Valley Sensory Centre logo is in the bottom right of the image.

Great Venue!

Thank you and the staff at the Sensory Centre for providing such a well equipped, comfortable and welcoming venue for our Development Day. We had a very productive day and were kept well fed and watered throughout. We would thoroughly recommend the Sensory Centre as a venue

Braille Books

The new [braille] books have made a significant difference to my learning. I have quite insensitive fingertips and the new books have dots that are more pronounced and therefore allow me to feel letters easier and to read more quickly.
