Achlevements and perfonnance
Following the acquisition of Romsley meth￿Ist Church {RMC) by SENSORY PEOPLE in November
2023. we have embarked on an exciting and busy wiod of devdopment. Our Chair, Marion
Rogerson, is well-acquainted wl(h the Methodist Church in Romsley, B62 OLF, having pra¢licgJ there
part-time be￿een 2016 and 2022. Like a s￿la11$t Sa￿ manager visibng the site recently said about
RMC - "r( is a calm building" _ just what we wanl f¢* a th¥apy ¢entre whiGh will be there to meet the
needs of many children with sensory prcttssing challe￿&$.
During the 202&2024 financial year, w8 have undertaken several key initiatiV85 to advance the
establishment of a sensory integration therapy centre in Romsley:
Developmènt Workshop.. We hosted a strategic development evening with staff and toard
members to gather input and fom)ulate a comprehensive brief for our architects, laying the
groundwork ft)r the new centre.
Projecl Manag8m8nt and Architectural Planning.. We wetrA)med our Project Manager, who
engaged Intervention Architectu￿ to design th6 refurbishment of the centre. Their plans
include a welcoming reception area. three sensory int￿ration therapy rooms on the ground
floor and an Outdo(￿ play area. Additsonally, the archttects have designed a mezzanlne level.
providing fv40 rooms for one to one small gr(MJp activtiies, staff workstations, a staff room,
and a small balcony area.
Organlsatlonal Growth IPlanning-. We have inTiklted planning for the expansion of the
charity lo accommodate a potential trirAing in size by 2025, whith includes signrficanuy
increasing the number of children we can treat. This expansion will wqulre us to further
develop our infrastructure and recruit additional therapists.
We much appreck?te the loyalty and commitmenl of our staff and InJstee5 all of whom u[￿erstand and
believe in Ihe use of (Ayresl Sens¢xy Integrabon Therapy as an effectNe approach for the treatment of
sensory pr￿sSir0 challenges and many of whom have had their own childrenlgrandchildren trealed
by SENSORY PEOPLE'S therapylcoaching staff.
We also recognise the significant commitment that parents make in bringing Ihelr
childrenlgrandchildren to our services, whether il be atterKJing our parenl information evenings,
participating in Cool Kids sessions. engaging in one*tO-one therapy, or utilising cwr parent support
servl¢e.
On average we have circa 50 children a week now attend our Cocl Kids progr8mm8 and one to one
{Ayresl Sensory Integration Therapy sessions. The Cod Kids programme is being éelivered by our
sports coaches In a churchlchurch hall (mosliy in eithw St. Kenelm's Church H811 or Romsley
Methodist Church), a barn, school, al the child's own home or in a f￿d.
SIPTS -sensory Integration and Praxls Tests.. Our Chair. has undertaken a nLJmber of SIPTS during
th8 year 2023-24 to 5UPPOrt parents applyng for Education Htrdlth Care Plan5 or Disability Living
Allowance for chil(Jren who are undertaknng our C(x)I lQls programme. We have restricted this offer to
parents who are alre￿lY ￿gagirl￿ in our programmes.
Saturday morning servlce.. A Board Memb￿, was regislwed as an OcKupational Therapy Helper
during this year and provided, free of Char￿ to the charity, a top up therapy service fix children who
had already attended (Ayres) Sensory Inlegrabon Therapy. While we as a charity much appreciated
this input, we became concerned 8b(MJl Ihe short-temi cancellations of thes8 sessions and iflwhen we
restart the Saturday service. we will rethink the bcokintypayment method undertaken in order that it is
used on a regular basis by families who opt into the service.
