Dear reader,
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!!!
