Good evening everyone!!

I hope you’re all feeling festive! I just wanted to share some important updates about our Christmas sessions:

🎄 Wednesday Evening Club
Our Wednesday Evening Club will run as normal up to 17th December.
We’ll then take a little Christmas break, as the next two sessions fall on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. We’ll be reopening and welcoming everyone back on 7th January.

✨ Shack Disco Fridays
Our final Shack Disco Friday before Christmas will be on 19th December, with the disco returning full of New Year energy on 9th January.

🎁 Christmas Holiday Sessions
Our Christmas Holiday spaces are filling up fast, and availability is now extremely limited. If you’d like to book in, please do so as soon as possible to avoid missing out on the festive fun.

🎅 Christmas Closures
The only weekend we’ll be closed over the holidays is 27th–28th December, the weekend right after Christmas. We’ll reopen on 29th December for our festive holiday sessions.

⭐️ Wishing you all a magical Christmas season! If you have any questions or would like to book, just let us know. ⭐️

All of this information has been sent to parents and carers on our mailing list. If you are not on our mailing list but would like to be please message us directly! ❤️

I’m sharing this because an incredible charity in North Wales, Yourspace, urgently needs our support.

Rachel the founder of Yourspace is from the Wirral herself and has spent years supporting children, young people and adults with autism and disabilities and founded yourspace after noticing the lack of support and services in North Wales.

Unfortunately they are now at a real risk of closure.

When I was younger, my mum worked at Yourspace. I grew up seeing the compassion, understanding and pure dedication they gave to every child and family. That experience inspired me to want to run a charity of my own, supporting those with additional needs who deserve to feel supported, celebrated and have a space just for them!

That’s how powerful their impact is.

So to think they may have to close their doors is absolutely heartbreaking.

👉 Supporting Yourspace is supporting ALL organisations like ours that fight every single day to stay open.

We cannot watch another vital service close.

If you can spare anything — truly anything — it will make a difference.

If you can’t donate, please share. Awareness matters just as much.

✨ Let’s stand together so Yourspace can stay open — not just for today, but for every child who will need them tomorrow.

Your Space is in danger of closing. This fundraiser will cover our overheads so we can continue our vital support for children with Autism.

💫 Magical Christmas Eve Grotto Adventure at the Shack! 🎄🎅

We decided… what better way to help our superstars truly feel the festive magic than for Father Christmas to arrive early on Christmas Eve! 🎅💫

Each grotto slot is completely private, giving your child precious 1-1 time with our elves, Father Christmas, and even the Grinch—who you might bump into on the festive trail to the grotto! 😉💚

For £20, your child will receive a thoughtfully chosen present, picked especially with their interests in mind, reminding them that Father Christmas is always watching, learning, and celebrating everything that makes them unique. 🎁✨

Because this is a private experience, you’re welcome to bring as many loved ones as you'd like to share in the Christmas cheer. If you’d like to bring siblings along, just let us know so we can make sure there’s a sprinkle of magic ready for them too! ❄️❤️

To book your slot, please email me directly—sessions are limited due to the private nature of the grotto.

All funds raised will go directly into improving the shack, helping us add more sensory equipment and kickstart an exciting new year! 🌟

🎅✨ We can’t wait to make Christmas Eve unforgettable!

We can’t wait to celebrate the magic of the season with you! 🎅🌟

We’re growing — and so is our amazing community! 💛

Due to high demand (and our weekends filling up fast!), we’re thrilled to announce a brand new Wednesday Evening Club 🎉

This midweek session is specially designed for our older superstars aged 11+ — giving them a space that’s just for them, full of fun and all things sensory!

✨ Important update!✨

It’s been brought to our attention that on Friday 14th November, many SEND schools across the Wirral will be closed for a staff training (INSET) day.

To help ease childcare pressures, we’ll be running sessions throughout the day here at The Sensory Shack, following the same timings and prices as our half-term sessions.

Children will be grouped according to their needs to ensure the day runs smoothly and everyone feels supported. Snacks, drinks, and—of course—plenty of fun will be provided, along with the appropriate support levels to make sure every child can enjoy the session in the best way for them. 💛

📧 To book your child’s place, please email Ellie@thesensoryshack.co.uk.

As most schools are closed on this day, we’d recommend booking early to secure a space!

💌 For parents/carers already on our mailing list – this information has also been sent to you via email.

🎉 We’ve Got Some Amazing News! 🎉

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that our application for Chester Zoo tickets has been successful as part of their community connections scheme! 🐒🦓🦒

This isn’t just any day out — it’s our way of giving back to our incredible families who continue to show amazing support for The Shack. 💙

As the colder months roll in, it can be harder to keep our superstars engaged and active, so we’re launching our brand-new Assisted Family Days Out!! 🌟

Our first trip will be a fun-filled day at Chester Zoo, supported by our fantastic staff team to make sure every family has a safe, accessible, and unforgettable experience. 🐘🌿

🎁 The best part?
This trip will be completely free for our families — because we know how stretched budgets can get in the lead-up to Christmas.

⚠️ Please note: carers and parents already receive free entry when accompanying their child (with valid proof of carer status) so these tickets will go directly to our superstars, our support staff, and any additional carers needed to make sure the day runs smoothly and safely for everyone. 💫

A disability should never close doors — and this is our way of opening them wide, saying thank you to our wonderful families, and rewarding our superstars for being so amazing! 🧡

👉 If you’d like to apply for a ticket, watch this space as we will be sharing a Google Form soon where you can let us know:
Your preferred dates 🗓️
Number of tickets required 🎟️
Level of support needed 🙌
And anything else we can do to make the day run as smoothly and brilliantly as possible! 🌈

Why we opened The Sensory Shack.

The reasons that we decided to open the sensory shack was to support anyone of any age with sensory issues in a fun, safe and relaxing experience.

We wanted children and adults of all with additional needs to use the shack as a home from home.

We wanted to support adoptive parents and foster carers to maintain a strong attachment and securing placements.

We aimed to offer support and help to anyone looking after someone with additional needs and provide them with a space they could access privately and at a fair price.
