Project highlights

Sensory Trust runs a rich mix of project work. It's how we apply our skills, test our ideas in practice, find opportunities to work with others and inspire and guide more inclusive practice.

Grant-funded projects give us the chance to develop new approaches and to do more research and dissemination. Consultancy work enables us to put our ideas into practice. While we tend to focus our pilot work locally, all our work has a national focus and our links around the world help us maintain an international perspective.
