Waiting can be sensory-heavy 🧡

Queues, waiting rooms and busy spaces can bring uncertainty alongside noise, movement, bright lighting and lots of other sensory input.

Sometimes small adjustments can make the wait feel a little more manageable — whether that’s knowing how long you’ll be waiting, finding a quieter spot, or having something familiar with you.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to sensory needs, so we’d love to hear from you:

What makes waiting easier for you? Is there something you always do or bring with you? 👇

Small sensory steps can make a big difference 🧡

We can’t always change the environment around us, but sometimes a small adjustment can make a space feel a little more manageable.

What works for you when a space starts to feel like too much? 👇

Sometimes sensory accessibility is about working with the space you already have 🧡

At stjohnsshopping, thoughtful features have been built into the everyday shopping environment. From a sensory tile pathway that encourages movement and sensory play, to a Chatty Bench, sensory toys and changing mats available on request.

It’s a great reminder that accessibility can be about giving people more choice in how they experience a busy environment.

Small changes like these can make everyday spaces feel more welcoming, comfortable and inclusive, and we’d love to see more of them!

St Johns is one of our Sensified pilot partners, and we’re really pleased to be working alongside them as they continue their sensory accessibility journey 💛

Did you know St Johns had these features? Let us know in the comments! 👇

For many neurodivergent people and those with sensory sensitivities, knowing what support is available before visiting can make a real difference.

At strawberryfieldliverpooluk, thoughtful adjustments like sensory resources, quieter spaces and places to take a break can help visitors experience the attraction in a way that works for them.

We’re proud to be working alongside Strawberry Field, helping make sensory information easier to understand 🧡

Visit the space. Help shape it.

What’s one small change you think can make a big difference to accessibility? 👇

Sound sensitivity isn’t always about something being “too loud” sometimes, certain sounds can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable or even painful…

If you’re heading into a busy or noisy environment, a little planning can make a big difference. From layering earplugs with familiar audio to giving yourself permission to take regular sensory breaks, find what works for you.

What’s your go-to strategy for managing sound sensitivity?

Our Founder Faye is speaking at Ideas Fest! 💛

On Thursday 10th September, she’ll be joining a brilliant panel to talk about going “From First Venture to Full-Time Founder” and the lessons she’s learned since taking part in Young Enterprise.

Faye:

“My first experience of entrepreneurship was through Young Enterprise while I was at university. Years later, after 12+ years working in travel, I took the leap to build Sensified Spaces full-time.

There have been plenty of lessons between those two points, from starting with an idea and figuring things out as I went, to building a team, developing the technology, working with some incredible organisations and learning what it actually takes to turn an idea into a business.

I’m really looking forward to sharing some of that journey alongside Sarah Porretta, Conor Warren, James Eder and Kerry Easter.”

📍 Ideas Fest, Champneys Tring
🗓 Thursday 10th September
⏰ 4:00–4:45pm | Camp Fire

If you’re heading to Ideas Fest, come and say hello! 💜

A new Sensified partnership 🧡

We’re really excited to welcome Shakespeare North Playhouse to the Sensified Spaces journey!

Shakespeare North Playhouse has already put accessibility at the heart of its venue, and now we’ll be working together to look more closely at the sensory experience too.

Through lived experience, sensory insights and practical recommendations, we’ll explore how the experience can be made more comfortable and accessible for neurodivergent visitors and anyone who experiences sensory sensitivities.

For us, sensory accessibility isn’t about getting everything perfect overnight. It’s about listening, learning and taking meaningful steps towards creating spaces where more people feel comfortable, confident and able to enjoy what’s there.

We’re so excited to have Shakespeare North Playhouse on the journey with us. 🌅

Welcome to Sensified Spaces, Shakespeare North Playhouse! 🧡

Thinking ahead about what helps you feel comfortable can make airports and flying feel a little more manageable…

JLA is supporting more sensory-inclusive travel with a dedicated Sensory Space and a virtual walkthrough passengers can explore before they fly. 🙌

The Sensory Space, developed with ABM, Autism Adventures and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, gives children and sensory seekers a supportive environment before their journey. The virtual walkthrough lets passengers and families see it in advance and know what to expect on the day.

Every neurodivergent person experiences the world differently,some need quiet, low-stimulation spaces, others benefit from sensory input to help them regulate. Having options, and being able to see them in advance, reduces uncertainty and gives people more confidence.

LJLA is the first airport to be part of the Sensified Spaces journey, and we’re so excited to have them onboard 💛

Your can watch the virtual walkthrough and find information on how to access their sensory space via their website!
