#ThrowbackThursday to our incredible Super Sensory 1K at Parallel Windsor! ✨
Designed to support neurodiversity and participants with profound and multiple learning disabilities, this inclusive challenge took participants on a sensory journey 💜
ALT A brilliantly colourful image from our super sensory that shows a lady on a red mobility scooter wearing a white t shirt with a light blye cardigan over the top. She has what looks like a nasal cannula and has the largest grin on her face as she drives through hanging beads that are red and white and glittery streamers in all sorts of colours.
#ThrowbackThursday to one of the many unforgettable moments at #ParallelWindsor 2025 — the Greatest Dancer Challenge with @paradanceuk ! 💃🕺
The energy was electric 💥
