Little Smugglers is a residential home for adults with Learning disabilities & challenging behaviours, providing support for adults with Autism, CDLS, Down syndrome , Aspergers & mental health.
Our aim & goal is to renovate a unused classroom & turn it into a sensory Room/ classroom / cinema & day centre
The benefits of sensory play are well known. They provide an oasis of relaxation which is vital for adults emotional health, a place where they can rest and become interested in their environment. Some will simply lie down and enjoy the magic while for others they will engage in the more interactive areas.
These experiences also provide a myriad of benefits for adults with learning disabilities , encouraging hand and eye coordination, and the development of social and language skills. An overactive adult or distressed adult can be comforted and calmed, an inactive adult become engaged. Sensory rooms are particularly useful for adults with sight or hearing problems or for adults with varying degrees of attention deficiency disorders.
Thank you to everyone who has donated already .
We have a target of 20K this will ensure the project is fully compliant with health & safety regulations, wheelchair accessible, onsite wet room & kitchen facilities.
The Classroom will hold various art & craft activities , a cinema room with projector TV , Bean bags providing an area of relaxation.
