Caerphilly, Caerphilly County Borough

Our Sense hub has been at the heart of Caerphilly since 2015. We support people with complex disabilities across south Wales to learn new skills, keep healthy and make friends. 

Whether you’re from Caerphilly or somewhere else in south Wales, we’d love to see you!

Services

Our day services include a huge range of activities. The focus is always on helping you build new skills, confidence and communication. 

Some examples include:

• Creating and exhibiting arts and crafts.
• Musical and theatrical performances.
• Fitness.
• Cookery skills classes and enjoying food.
• Using computers for learning and fun.
• Sensory experiences through music and touch.
• Pampering experiences.

As well as the services on offer at our hub in Caerphilly, we organise trips from the hub into the local community. This could involve going to the swimming pool, shops or parks. 

Sometimes we also organise trips a bit further away, to places like farms or activity centres. This gives people with complex disabilities the chance to have exciting new experiences, while their carers can also have a short break.
