landscape, resource and information designers, writers. trainers, and community
engagement specialists. We work with design practices, local authorities, greenspace
organisations, health. education and care professionals and disengaged communities to
change the way thal pla￿S are designed, built and managed. We bring nature-based
experiences into the lives of people who need them most.
We work directly with individuals and community groups using nature-based activities to
improve their health and wellbeing. Our work spans urban parks, healthcare and
residential environments, schools and education centres, heritsge sites, visitor
destinations. wildlrfe sites and the countryside.
Our priorities for the year ending 31st March 2024 are uslng the outdoors and nature-
based activilies to".
make places accesslble, raising awareness and skills so the health and social
benefits of engaglng wlth nature can be shared by everyone.

involvement in our project activities. This group includes children and adulls with
physical, leaming and sensory disabilities, people livlng with dementia as well as their
carers and family members.
Our professlonal advlce and expertlse were sought by national professlonal bodies,
design practices, care homes and visitor destinations. Advice ranged from outdoor
access and garden design to inclusive infomiatlon and communlty engagement. Thls
Includes training 698 people.
Over the last 12 months our guidance has been viawod over 160,000 tlmes and our
blog has recelved circa 234,000 vlews. Our YouTube films have had over 19,000 views
and we connect with 11,997 people through our social media channels.
Trading has contSnued as an Important activlty to fund our development work. This has
resulted in a donation to the charity of £28,179 from our trading subsidiary. Orange
Splral Llmlted.
Publlc Beneflt
In shaping our objectives for Ihe year and plannlng our actlvitles, the trustees have
considered the Charity Commlssion's guidance on public benefit. Participants In grant
funded projects can engage In our activities free of charga, or in the case of training and
professional development activitles, for a charge whlch covers the cost of provldlng that
Iralning or development. We have also developed a telephone advisory service, as an
effective way of supportlng smaller projects.
We balance providing services for some of the most vulnerable members of society. with
making relevant products avallable to a wlder audience who could benefit but are not able
to participate direcuy In projects either through their geographical location or level of
disposable income. This has been welcomed by individuals and organisations who have
responded positively.
Our webslte and social media are our primary means of disseminating our ethos,
techniques and resources as widely as possible. For example, In the past year, we had
over 26,000 views of our guldance on Inclusive play, 14,500 vlews of our guldance on
sensory garden design and over 234,000 views of our blog pages (a 200Qh increase).

Sensory Trust
Report of the Trustees
For the Year ended 31 March 2024
We have seen a 470h increase in online web enquiries compared to 2022123. This is
testsment to our growing web presence. popular blog and numerous articles in national
magazines and joumals. Many of these enquiries have led to some form of consultancy or
project work and we expect to see these numbers continue to rise into 2024125.
Monitoring and evaluation a￿ essential for us to gauge how our work is impacting people.
We therefore build it into all our programmes of activity and have developed inclusive
techniques to ensure people with communication challenges can participate independenlly
rather than relying on someone else. This is strenglhened by our close working
relationships with University of Exeter, European Centre for Environment and Human
Health and evaluation specialists such as Artswell and Connect the Dots.
Achlevements and Perfomiance
Sensory Trust is based in Cornwall, with much of our research and pllot work grounded in
the county. However, we are a national organisation bringing the results of our work to the
whole of Ihe UK and intemationally through our website, consultancy and training. Our
approach is lo pilot new work in the South West, leveraging our well-establlshed netrNorks
of individuals and sites. This enables us to create and test new ideas which we then share
nationally, often through collaboration with other organisations. By doing so we create
tools and resources based on the real
rather than assumed
needs of the people we
are aiming to benefit.
Our work is themed under three headings.
Make places accesslble
This area of work responds to the reality that barriers to access prevent many people living
with disability and health issues from using and engaging with the outdoors. Our work
Includes Improving the accessibility of outdoor destinations, heritsge venues and nature
sites. All aspects of accessibility are covered, from physical access and site design.
through infonnalion and Interp￿tatiOn, to education and policy issues. Sensory Trust Is
now seen as a leading source of expertise in this area with much of our advice freely
available through our website. We are also regularly commissioned by major
environmental bodies. design practices, healthcare and educalion settings, and visitor
destinations in the UK.
1.1 Deliver advice on access and Inclusive design
Our work helps practitioners and communities improve accessibility of their sites. through
tools, guidance and advice. We are skilled in identifying barriers to access in all types of
greenspace, finding effective solutions and working with organisations to take on inclusive
practice5.

Report of the Trustees
For the Year ended 31 March 2024
In 2023 we launched the new national Outdoor Accesslblllty Guldance
commlssloned by Paths for All In Scotland
at two Outdoor Recreation Network
conferences. This new gulde reflects the wider application of the Equality Act 2010 and is
the key reference for managers and owners wanting to make greenspace inclusive to the
widest range of people.
We were also commissioned by Natural Resources Wales and Natural England to updale
the By All Reasonable Means guidance. This brings the two natlon's guldes together into
one document and aligns it with the new Outdoor AC￿ssIbl11ty Guidance.
New access-focused tralnlng packages were delivered to Natural Resources Wales,
Natural England, London Wildlife Trust and Barnwood Trust. This training increased skills
for environmental managers, policy advisors and visitor managers, including leamlng how
to undertake access reviews of public rights of way.
Several commisslons have sought advlce on Incluslve deslgn. In West Hendon we were
commSssSoned by a design consortlum led by Arup and Includlng Tate and Co archltects lo
advise on Barnet Council's urban regeneration project. Our role as part of the deslgn team
is advising on Inclusive approaches to community engagement and design. Cledry
Meadow In Cornwall commissioned an outllne deslgn to support a small communlty
meadow developrnent. In Scotland, North East Flfe Community Hub in St Andrews
commissioned us lo develop an oulline design strategy for a community nature space.
Other commlsslons have focussed on access advlce. Thls has Included access revlews
for Huntingdon District Council, Comwall Heritage Trust and Newquay Orchard;
encompasslng urban parks, heritage sltes and community gardens.
1.2 Develop sensory4lch Interpretatlon to connect people wlth natural herltage
This work opens heritsge to the widest audience, ensuring that people wlth disabilities can
engage In meaningful and memorable ways.
We concluded two signlficanl projects during the year, both funded by National Lottery
Heritage Fund. The first, More Than Words. has opened natural heritage to new and
wider audiences enabling everyone to engage regardless of age or ability. We have
collaborated wilh 165 people with disabilities and long-temi health conditions, leading to
the creation of 17 new pleces of sensory-rlch Interpretation and slx new pleces of
ac￿Ssible infonmation for induslrial heritsge sites across Comwall. This has included
sensory stories, sensory tralls and pre-vislt Infonmation In ac￿SSible fomiats. Feedback

The project has been nationally recognised by the sector, with a commendation within the
Engaglng People Awards from the Association of Herltage Interpretation, and highly
commended for collaboratlon In the 2024 Comwall Heritage Awards.
The second National Lottery Heritage Funded project, Language of Nature, has focused
on brallle, Makaton, Widgit, British Sign Language (BSL) and Easy Read and the
communities who use them, particularly people who are Dldeaf and hard of hearing, bllnd
and partially sighled people and people with learning disabilities. Together, we explored
the communlcallon barriers that typlcally Ilmlt opportunities to engage with nature and
developed and tested new resources and techniques to create richer and more personally
meanlngful experlences.
Working with language specialists from the Unlverslty of Edinburgh and Widgit, led to the
creation of 30 new nature-focused BSL signs and 139 biodiversity Widgit symbols.
Expanding these vocabularies is key to enrlchlng people's connections with the
environment.
207 Dldeaf, disabled and neurodivergent people partlclpated In workshops that opened up
new experiences In natura, from plannlng and sowlng wlldflowers to plantlng trees. They
worked wlth us to develop and test 101 new resources, ensurlng the best uptake when we
shared them more widely. Examples Include tactile materials developed with blind and
partially sighted children In Llvarpool; brallle tree trail guides lested with bllnd and partially
sighted adults, and wildflower Widgit guides made with children with leaming disabllitles.
We have also concluded our partnershlp as part of a three year Eu-funded project called
PANCAKE, led by Friends of the Earth Malta. Slgn languages In many countries lack
official signs for plants and nature-related words. Flngerspelling of scientific names can be
long and laborious and result in many people ultlmately belng left out of Important
discusslons. The PANCAKE project has been created to produce new sign language
symbols for nature. Our work with the Deaf4ed Scottish Sensory Unit at Ihe University of
Edinburgh has sat alongslde slmllar Inltiatlves In Malta, Italy and Spain.

The wellbeing benefits th8t children and young people gain from spending tlme outdoors
can be partlcularly Important for chIld￿n wlth dlsabllities, but they typlcally have the least
opportunities to engage. Feedback from families and teachers shows they need mor8
opportunities for their children. Many realise the irnportan￿ of the outdoors but don't know
how to facilitate thls. Children may have access to occasional outings to outdoor
destinations but lack day-to-day opportunities to bring sustained health and developmental
galns.
We are working with special schools and young people who use Makaton, Wldglt, BSL
and brallle through our Language of Nature project. Interactive sessions with Trees for
Cities, London Involve exploring trees and woodlands wlth young Dldeaf people and young
people with learning disabilities.
Language of Nature is bringlng wildflower prepardtlon and plantlng Into two speclal

practical processes of ground preparation and seed sowing. Each school now has a new
wildflower area that they can use for monitoring and seed collection.
2.2 Increase partlclpatlon of older people wlth dèmentla In nature-based Interests
and actlvltles
Thls work focuses on engaging people living with dementia, Ihelr famllles and carers wlth
nature and the outdoors, bringing significant health and soclal benefits. Thls reflects our
ambition of building on our work that shows the effectiveness of our nature-based
approach In helplng people develop coplng strategies and enhance their wellbeing.
Our Creatlve Spaces programme has been supporting people living with dementia,
families and carers, for over 15 years and is now widely known for its innovatlve, nalure-
based approach to dementia care. It demonstrates how connectlons wlth nature and the
outdoors can enhance the wellbeing and coping mechanisms of people living with
d8mentla by Insplrlng new Interests and soclal connections and reducing Isolatlon and
dependency.
Provldlng on-the-ground support for people Ilving with dementia in their own homes
continues to be a major focus. We have secured four years of support from the National

3.1 Inspire nature engagernent and actlon for health and environmental benefits
This reflects a growing team interest in 'completing the circle., not just connecting to nature
but benefiting nature. This has been implicit in previous work but is now coming into focus
with significant development during the year on a new inclusive cllmate action initiative.
This has secured funding from the National Lottery Community Fund's Climate Action
Fund and will launch in 2024125.
Dlg Deeper is using nature exploration and discovery to support adults living with anxiety
and depression. It is immersing people in the micro and hidden worlds of natu￿, for

'1 think I've become happier with people, where before the anxiety would take over and
I'd go. I'm not doing that.,
To further prove the impact of this approach we have partnered with the University of
Exeter on their application to the National Institute for Heamh and Care Research (NIHR) to
undertake a Randomised Control Trial on nature-based social prescribing to support
mental ill health. Work on this will begin in 2025 to provide more robust eviden￿ on
changes in mental health. loneliness and wellbeing.
3.2 Develop and share nature.based resourcesi guldance and tools
This work involves developing, promoting and sharing new nature-based resources. Some
a￿ free and some for sale through our trading subsidiary, Orange Spiral Limited. Some
are tsrgeted at specific audiences, while others are of broad appeal. All are designed to
encourage people to engage with nature and the outdoors.
Our resources put our philosophy Into practlce and Increase our reach, both in terms of
beneficiaries and geography. They include the gofindit scavenger hunt card game,
Sensory Trail Markers, and dementia-specific resources.
New sensory resources developed during the year include tactile guides to trees and
wildflowers, wildflower learning materials in Widgit, and nature-based curriculum malerials
for Deaf children. We have also developed a tree trail uslng QR codes to Ilnk to films of
trees. The films have BSL, audio, captions and images to make them as wide-reaching as
possible. These have been tested in three site locations and we are exploring options for
further development.

across the UK, America, Europe and Australia.
3.3 Develop and dellver sensory deslgns
Thls capStallses on our skills and experlence through the expanslon of our consultancy
services. We deliver advlce and deslgns for green space and occaslonal bulldlng projects,
ranging from cara homes to large capltal building projects.
This includes our contlnued Involvement wlth The Hypatia Trust on the design of a new
outdoor sensory space. This is part of the renovation of a heritage building and its botanlc
garden into offices and communlty resource In Morrab Gardens, Cornwall. It Is funded by
Heritsge Lottery and funds have been secured to support the construction phase and our
own ongoing deslgn Input.
Other new Sensory deslgn work has also been secured from Wildheart, a community
landscape on the Isle of Wight, where we advised on community engagement and concept
design. Towednack Parish Councll, Cornwall commlssloned us to undertake community
engagement and concept deslgn for a communlty greenspace. We advised Malvern Hills
Council on the development a sensory garden within thelr town park.
SS Great Brltaln and the Royal West of Engl8nd.Academy, both Sn Brlstol, commlssloned
us for the design and installation of sensory tralls with markers and accompanying

with funders such as the Natlonal Lottery alongslde shorter-tenn commltments for smaller-
scale initiatives.
We continue to minimise our overheads by maintaining effici8nt administrative systems. As
with many voluntary organisations, our biggest challenge Is resourcing our core costs
which relate to actlvltles such as promotion, advocacy and dissemination but, we have
made excellent progress by applying full-cost recovery to our fundraising and building
income through consultancy and trading.

Overall, our total income was £464.205 and our total expenditure £526,655 which resulted
in a deficit of £62,450. This reflects the planned spend of designated funds, as detailed
below.
The trading subsidiary resilience designated fund protects the charity as it has a
growing reliance on the trading income from Orange Spiral Limited, which is subject to
variations in market trends and reliance on extemal sales routes (such as Amazon).
This has reduced to £20k, which includes £21k spent In the current year to offset
reduced trading Income and a transfer of £30k into the development deslgnated fund to
reflect the expected level of tradlng Income for future years.
The asset replacement designated fund has reduced by £3,058 during the year leaving
£5,261 to provide for planned, future core investments. This includes small scale
purchases such as computer upgrades and improvements to our office space. This
fund will remain in place as d&preciation reduces the remaining amount over the next
few years.
The development designated fund has now been fully spent, as planned. to support the
development of new projects and funding proposals. This has been critical during the
year and enabled us to secure two new multi-year funding agreements focused on
inclusive climate action. We have designated an additional £30k into this fund in
recognition of the continued importance of this fund in planning for the future
sustainability of Sensory Trust's work.
Our dosing position of £409,435 includes unrestricted reserves of £405.438 alongside
reslricted funds of £3,977. £350,177 remains as general f￿e reserves, which represents 9
months of our core operational costs. This meets our reserves policy to build and maintain
reserrfes bebNeen 9 and 12 months of core operational costs. Thls allows a realistic
timeframe for the charity to adapt to change and respond to crlses, particularfy important
as we respond to increased demand for Ser41￿S, increased competition for funds and
Increased costs of delivery.
