About Sense Hub Loughborough

We walked through the door at Sense Family Centre Woodside not knowing what to expect and a short time after, we walked back out feeling part of the Sense family. It was so great and we were made to feel so welcome.”

Going to the sessions had such a positive impact on us as a family because we suddenly found ourselves with people who knew what we were going through.”

Why Loughborough?

Charnwood Borough Council, which includes Loughborough, has approximately 5,774 people with complex disabilities. By 2030, that will rise to approximately 7,702 people.

We define complex disabilities as someone that has two or more of the following conditions and they report that their life is impacted by their disabilities: Sight loss, hearing loss, autism, learning disability.

These figures are taken from our groundbreaking research to understand the scale of complex disabilities in the UK in the present and for the future.
