Here at Fun & Play, we love to celebrate spaces where every child can thrive — and we’re thrilled to hear about the brand new sensory room at Challengers in Guildford! Designed with input from families and therapists, this new space offers a safe, calming environment for children with complex needs to explore, relax, and enjoy purposeful play. With soft lighting, tactile panels, and interactive technology, it's a fantastic addition to the charity’s commitment to inclusive fun.
Whether your child loves lights and textures or just needs a peaceful corner during their play session, this sensory room brings so much value. We’re always excited to see charities like Challengers putting accessibility and imagination at the heart of everything they do.
Challengers is more than just a play centre — it’s a movement for inclusion. Their mission is to ensure that no child is ever left out of play. By creating fun, safe and truly accessible experiences, they support young people with a wide range of disabilities while giving families a much-needed break. Their services cover pre-schools, play and youth schemes, all designed to empower young people to be themselves in spaces that celebrate individuality.
And don’t miss the fantastic free events at The Hub – Challengers’ vibrant community space. These drop-in events are open to all and include everything from coffee mornings and sensory stay & plays to themed family fun. Coming up next? There's a SEND Coffee Morning on April 25th and a free Sensory Stay & Play session on May 15th – a perfect way to meet other families, explore resources, and feel connected.
