Sensory

Everton FC set out to incorporate dedicated sensory spaces within Hill Dickinson Stadium that would go beyond standard accessibility provision. The aim was to create bespoke, thoughtfully designed environments that felt safe, controlled and inclusive, while also reflecting the club’s identity and sense of pride. To deliver this, Everton FC approached Creative Activity to design and install specialist multi-sensory environments that could seamlessly integrate into the stadium setting.

Creative Activity was delighted to work alongside St Gerard’s to design and install a bespoke, double-level soft play area that would give pupils opportunities they might not otherwise have access to - all within a safe, supportive environment.

We recently installed a bespoke Social Staircase at the brand-new Northern Regional College (NRC) campus in Ballymena.

As soon as you step through the doors, the staircase stands out as a striking centrepiece of the college’s main entrance - designed not only to connect the floors of the building but also to act as a vibrant social hub for students.

Ballyoran Primary School in Portadown has a strong commitment to creating inclusive learning environments. With a diverse pupil population, including those in specialist provisions, the school recognises the importance of supporting children with a wide range of sensory needs. To strengthen this support, the school partnered with Creative Activity to design and install two sensory rooms and a sensory circuit.

Creative Activity partnered with St Patrick’s College in Ballymena to design and install a brand-new Sensory Room and Soft Play Room. The project builds on a strong existing relationship, as Creative Activity had previously worked with the school to develop their Specialist Provision classes and supply the required furniture.

Creative Activity recently partnered with the Bronte Ward at the Bluestone Unit in Craigavon Hospital, Northern Ireland, to deliver a bespoke sensory room designed to support adults with mental health conditions. The sensory environment now plays a critical role in the ward's therapeutic offering, benefiting both patients and staff alike.

For individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a carefully designed sensory environment can be life-changing. At Creative Activity, we understand the unique challenges faced by those with sensory processing differences — and we’ve designed the Sensory Hive as a powerful, mobile solution to support their needs.

More Than Words Advocacy CIC is a dedicated day service provider based in Wigan, just outside of Manchester. They offer vital support for adults with learning disabilities and neurodiversity, helping individuals thrive in a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment.

The organisation undertook a major transition to a new, more central premises with the the addition of a state of the art sensory room- an exciting move that brought with it a number of challenges.

We’re proud to announce that both our Sensory Hive and Senso Cube have been officially awarded the Certified Autism Resource (CAR) designation — an internationally recognised certification that validates the positive impact of these tools for individuals with autism and sensory processing differences.

This recognition comes from IBCCES (The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards), a leading independent certification body that specialises in cognitive disorders and neurodiversity.

The Senso Cube has the potential to redefine the way sensory interventions are delivered in hospitals, psychiatric units, and therapy spaces. This first-of-its-kind solution provides a safe, immersive, and fully adaptable sensory experience, creating calming spaces for de-escalation, therapy, and emotional regulation without requiring permanent structural modifications—something that has not been available before in mental health settings.

At Creative Activity, we are committed to designing and delivering sensory solutions that transform learning environments for students with diverse needs. We have had the privilege of working with Sandelford Special School on a number of projects, helping to create engaging and inclusive spaces that support sensory development and well-being. Our most recent collaboration saw the installation of a Senso Cube and a Sensory Circuit, enhancing the school's ability to provide tailored sensory experiences for its students.

 

At Sandelford Special School, we have worked on several projects aimed at enhancing sensory experiences and supporting students with sensory processing needs. Most recently, we installed a Senso Cube in the nursery class and a Sensory Circuit in the school corridor. These solutions were designed to create accessible, effective regulation spaces that fit seamlessly into the school’s daily routine.
