Quiet Time About Gym Quiet Time

Dates: TBA

Times: TBA

We are organising a time for our gym to soon introduce a low sensory quiet time, this is to support and accommodate those in our community with sensory sensitivities.

The quiet time will include turning the TVs and music off, reducing the amounts of lights in use in the gym and having low intensity groups running in the gym activity room alongside.

If embraced by our local community it is something that we would love to continue in the future.

Be the mindful the quiet hour is only currently running in the gym and the rest of the centre will be operating as normal.
