Sensory Toy Library
Our sensory toy library is now located at Western Community Centre.
Beginning in February 2015 we are pleased to be able to offer library borrowing sessions on Sunday afternoons - known as 'Sensory Sundays at Styx'. Please see the events page for upcoming dates. It is anticipated that we will run a once a fortnight session.
It is free to borrow items from the library, but when you register a £10 per family per year subscription is payable to go towards the maintenance of equipment.
If you are able to volunteer to help run our Sensory Sundays then please do get in touch. We would love to be able to develop a rota of volunteers who are familiar with the equipment.
