A SuperSensory1K at the launch of a new Sensory Garden in Bedford

On Saturday, June 22nd, I had the pleasure of heading over to Bedford to host a SuperSensory1K, alongside the launch of their Sensory Garden.

The Sensory Garden, along with the inclusive play area nearby, provides a welcoming environment for individuals of all ages within the Bedford Community. It is a space where young people, families, and older adults, whether disabled or not, can come together to enjoy a sensory-rich outdoor experience.

The Bedford Parents and Carers Forum played a crucial role in promoting our SuperSensory1K, which resulted in approximately 225 participants joining us. It was great to see such positive interaction within Bedford Borough.

The unveiling of the sensory garden marks a momentous step towards fostering inclusivity within our community. Our event was a wonderful way for the young people and families of Bedford to get to know Power2Inspire ahead of our PowerHouseGames in September.

Thank you to Nicola, the Head of Service for the SEND & AP Programme at Children’s Services, Bedford Borough Council, for communicating with us to enable the day to occur. I am optimistic about Power2Inspire’s ongoing relationship with Bedford Borough Council.

The success of this event has laid a strong foundation for our PowerHouseGames later this year, and we look forward to returning in September!
