Hello everyone! 👋

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has followed our page. Your support means so much to us.

I thought it was time to introduce myself. My name is Nadia, and I have lived in Leyland and Chorley all my life.

The Sensory Snug is a small family initiative with a big dream. It was inspired by our own experiences of raising our autistic son and supporting a family member living with dementia. We wanted to create a place where people feel welcomed, understood and accepted, a place where everyone belongs.

Twenty-one years ago, my son was diagnosed as autistic at the age of two. Since then, our family has been on a journey filled with learning, joy, challenges and determination. Like many families, we often struggled to find places where he felt comfortable and accepted. That experience stayed with me and became the inspiration behind The Sensory Snug.

Located in Buckshaw Village and now nearing completion, The Sensory Snug has been designed to be accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users. It will include two purpose-built sensory rooms for both children and adults, specialist sensory technology to support people with autism, ADHD, SEND and those living with dementia. In addition, there will be a dedicated craft area where people can relax, socialise and enjoy creative activities together.

Our aim is to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for children, adults and families. Whether you are autistic, have ADHD, additional needs or disabilities, are living with dementia, are experiencing mental health challenges, or simply need a calm and supportive environment, we hope The Sensory Snug will be a place where you feel at home.

One of my biggest motivations is my son. Like every young person, he deserves the opportunity to have a job, a purpose and the chance to contribute to his community. My hope is that The Sensory Snug will also create opportunities for other people with additional needs, not only to visit, but to work with us in the future.

This has always been about giving something back to the community that has been my home for so many years. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you all.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to sharing the next chapter with you. 💚

💚🩷 Carers Week 2026 🩷💚

This week we’re joining thousands of organisations across the UK to celebrate Carers Week and recognise the incredible contribution of unpaid carers.

At High Five, we know that caring can sometimes feel isolating, which is why we’re working hard to create opportunities for carers to connect, share experiences and access support.

We’re not quite there yet, but our office is gradually becoming a space for parent carers, and this week we’ve got something happening on five different days.

Take a look at what’s happening this week and send a message if you’d like to join us. We’d love to see you 💜

Carers UK Chief Executive, Helen Walker and unpaid carer Sue appeared on GMB this morning to talk about our Carers Week report. She said "There's a huge number of unpaid carers in this country and many don't recognise that they are. What's really important is for people to ensure that the communities around them are friendly to carers."

Talking about our Carers Week report findings, Kate Garraway said: "More than a third say organisations and services they need to access are not carer friendly and their own health and wellbeing is being impacted as a result."

Thank you to everyone who has followed our page. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Nadia and I am a local mum, and my journey began 19 years ago when my son was diagnosed as autistic at the age of two. What followed was a lifelong journey of discovery, one filled with learning, joy, tears, resilience, and unconditional love.

As my son grew, so did my awareness of how difficult it can be to find places that truly feel comfortable, accepting, and inclusive. Simple outings often felt overwhelming, and spaces that genuinely understood and welcomed people with special needs and disabilities were hard to find. Too often, families are left feeling isolated or excluded, simply because the world is not designed with everyone in mind.

Alongside this, my family has also been touched by dementia. Seeing a loved one live with dementia has shown me how important calm, familiar, and sensory-friendly environments are for adults as well. Supportive spaces can bring comfort, reduce anxiety, and create moments of connection, not only for those living with dementia, but for their families and carers too.

This multi-sensory centre was born from these lived experiences.

My vision is to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for people of all age, supporting individuals with special needs, disabilities, neurodiversity and adults living with dementia. A place designed with understanding at its core, where individuals, families, carers, and the wider community can relax, engage, explore, and feel accepted exactly as they are.

At the heart of this centre is my son. I want to give him not only a job, but a sense of purpose, confidence, and the opportunity to fulfil his dreams, just as every young adult deserves. This centre is about creating meaningful opportunities, breaking down barriers, and showing what is possible when inclusion is lived, not just spoken about.

This is a space for the community, built on compassion, lived experience, and a deep belief that everyone deserves dignity, connection, and a place where they truly belong.

We can’t wait to get started and look forward to meeting you later on in the year.
