Snoezelen room/ lending library for children
Sonshine Club, with funding support from the Clothworkers Trust and Jewish Childs Day, has hired a venue and set it up with a new facility with speciality sensory equipment. The facility is available to all families with a disabled child. 

The facility offers a Snoezelen environment, (a concept first developed in the Netherlands and used widely in the Netherlands and Germany). Snoezelen offers ‘a controlled, multisensory environment’ and is a proven therapy for people with autism and other developmental issues to regulate themselves from anxiety etc.

The children come to congregate and feel safe and comfortable here. They can either use specially designed equipment that they would not normally have access to at home, or they can choose to play with the toys or relax with a book! Children can also borrow toys and books from the lending library for a period of 6 weeks at a time.
