Jake’s Sensory World is the idea of Jo Hall and Ruth Garrett, both mums to two young children. As the children grew it became clear that Jo's son Jake was developing at a different pace and unfortunately at the age of 12 months it was confirmed that Jake had a rare neuro transmitter disease, which has now left him with severe complex health needs.

The last few years have been a trying, and at times, isolating experience for Jo's family. They have constantly struggled to find activities that suit their whole family. Trips to sensory play centres in Macclesfield and Preston have been thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, but have highlighted just how much this facility is needed closer to home in the Sefton area. 

It is our dream to make Jake’s Sensory World a reality in order to provide a much needed play centre, fully accessible by all. Each of our light, dark & soft play rooms will be kitted out with ceiling tracking, along with fully adapted toilets and changing facilities. Areas will also be available for parties, socialising & refreshments.
