Friends, family and neighbours walked together in Ian's Charity Walk t-shirts to raise money for the sensory garden.

The garden

A safe, inclusive green space built for the senses

The new sensory garden in Woodford Green is purpose-built for children with special educational needs. It's a safe, inclusive and therapeutic outdoor space where children can learn, relax, play and connect with nature through multi-sensory experiences.

Learn

An outdoor classroom where children explore textures, scents and sounds.

Play

A safe, inclusive space designed so every child can join in.

Relax

Calm, quiet corners for when the world feels like too much.

Connect with nature

Plants, soil and fresh air, close enough to reach out and touch.

“We did this so that people could use it. I'm happy that this walk managed to benefit people.”
Ian Subaskaran, speaking to Keith Vaz on Talking Points, Lyca Radio
