| About us | Sense Scotland is a Scottish charity and specialised social care provider supporting people with communication support needs associated with complex and sensory disabilities and their families, where individual needs and choices come first. We provide a range of services including family advisory; early years support for children aged up to eight and their families; community living, day support for children and adults; arts programme and short breaks. We also provide healthy living support including a range of indoor and outdoor physical activities; welfare rights support; transition support; ASDAN awards and other activities and programmes to develop skills in learning, employment and life. We support young people and adults in South Lanarkshire and surrounding areas in Blantyre Short Breaks which provides short breaks and respite care for 80 people with up to 7 visitors at a time. It provides a broad selection of opportunities to socialise, be active, try new things, develop skills, get outdoors, relax and have fun all tailored to each individual’s preferences, interests and needs. It also gives families and carers much-needed breathing space, most of the time just to catch up on their sleep. The breaks are vital to the health and wellbeing of families and act as a home from home, sometimes over many years.

| Our Wish | We have two items in our garden area which are in need of some TLC. The first item, is a large, long pergola and the second item is a wooden gazebo. They are amazing garden pieces, however, are desperately in need of a coat of paint, some twinkling lights, lanterns, scented flowers and outdoor cushions. With the long summer nights ahead we would love to be able to make these items more accessible to the people we support by making them a sensory experience and also just to provide the opportunity for friends who are having respite care to spend time together and relax. We are looking for a donation of £600.00, however the amount has been broken down to make it more affordable. We would appreciate any amount of financial support. Both items require to be painted with outdoor garden paint (£200.00) We would like to have hanging lanterns, fairy lights, cushions and wind chimes (£250.00) We would also like to add some scented flowers in pots / hanging baskets (£150.00)
