New information sheets and booklets

As part of the Connect project, funded by the Lloyds TSB Foundation and the Big Lottery, Sensory Trust is producing a series of handy information sheets and booklets. Aimed at people who own, manage or design outdoor spaces, the information sheets offer all sorts of useful advice on how to maximise accessibility and quality of experience at sites such as parks, woodlands, historic gardens, community spaces and museums.

The information sheets are designed to be easy to use and cover the basics quickly so that you can spend less time reading in the office and more time improving your site or engaging with your visitors.
