On Wednesday 25th September 2019 the Forth Valley Sensory Centre welcomed HRH The Princess Royal, who officially opened the new Kitchen Garden at the Centre.
Designed to be easily accessible, the Kitchen Garden has been developed as a community resource and will be helping local schoolchildren learn about sensory loss and healthy eating through a ‘Flavour School’ initiative.
As part of the visit The Princess Royal received a tour of the Centre which is unique in Scotland as a place where people with sensory loss, their friends, family and carers can come to get help, support and advice. Key to this are the Centre’s many groups and classes, which are designed to build confidence, encourage new skills and provide great social occasions.
Jacquie Winning, the Centre Manager, said “Forth Valley Sensory Centre were extremely honoured to receive a visit from the Princess Royal who took the time and effort to show such genuine interest in the deaf and blind people who use our services, and the work our staff, volunteers and partners do to support this.”
