Welcome to Making Sense 18, the newsletter of the Sensory Trust. Summer's here and it's time to get out more. In this issue we're out on farms with children and people with learning disabilities, we're in care home gardens with older people and we're out and about around the country helping people make places better. Hot! We have a free download of our recently completed social sustainability toolkit. Wot a scorcher!! And as if that's not enough, Earthscan, the award-winning publisher, is offering Making Sense subscribers a 20% discount on books you buy direct from their web site. Incandescent!!!
