We’re here for disabled people with complex needs.

From the first weeks of life to the major milestones of adulthood, we’ll use our knowledge and expertise to deliver personalised, creative and flexible support.

Whether it’s communicating with your child for the first time, learning to live more independently or finding friendship through our sports and arts activities – these are the moments that make a difference.

  • Learning disability 
  • Autism

How much do Sense’s services cost?

Many of our services are free, while others require local authority funding.
