🌟 Help Us Shape the Future of Sensory Superstars! 🌟

​Since 2022, Sensory Superstars has been bringing families together across Gosport. We originally set up post-COVID to rebuild community connections, create a safe, welcoming space for children and parents to make lasting friendships, and champion true inclusion in our area.

​Now, we have big dreams and ambitions for the future!

​We want to expand our service to offer a wider range of activities, supporting even more families and children of all age groups. Our vision is to establish a dedicated Sensory & Community Hub right here in Gosport—a calm, inclusive space where everyone feels supported, understood, and at home.

​But we can’t do it without you.

​To make this vision a reality, we need your help to understand exactly what our local community needs.

We want to know:
​Which locations in Gosport suit you best
​What days and times work around your family’s routine
​Which activities, groups, and support topics matter most to you.

​Your feedback will directly shape our plans and help us secure the funding needed to expand. Please take a few minutes to fill out our quick survey and have your say!

​Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us build a bright, inclusive future for Gosport families! ❤️

Okay, we’ve covered general tips for PIP applications, but what’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received about navigating the system? We know the forms are a nightmare and the process is gruelling, so let’s share the hacks that actually work.

​Is it a way of organising your evidence? A phrase you found helpful during your assessment? A resource you used?
​We’re not talking about anything illegal, just the practical wisdom we’ve all picked up along the way. Comment with your best tip to help another member through this process! 💡

What’s one small change in your local area that would make a huge difference to your day-to-day life? It could be anything from a lower counter at your local coffee shop, more dropped kerbs, to shops turning their music down on quiet afternoons.

​Too often, it’s not the disability itself that holds us back, but the simple, unthinking barriers society builds in.

​Tell us below what one change would help you feel more 'at home' in your community. Let's build a long list of things that need to be improved! 👇

Did you know that not all disabilities look the same?

​Today, we're talking about two crucial concepts that help build understanding and make our communities more inclusive.

​👉 Invisible Disabilities: Symptoms like chronic pain, extreme fatigue, or neurological differences that aren't immediately obvious to an observer.

​👉 Dynamic Disabilities: The reality that a condition can vary in intensity. A dynamic disability isn't "better" one day and "worse" the next; it means our abilities and needs might change day by day (or even hour by hour). Just because someone looks okay today doesn't mean they aren't managing a disability.
​It's time to bust some myths!

​💙 Let’s increase awareness and challenge assumptions.
