Fully accessible sensory centre

I was meeting a group of friends for lunch at the cafe of the Forth Valley Sensory Centre. It had been a number of years since I had visited the sensory centre and I had only been there for work meetings previously so was nice to visit in a more social capacity. I notified the venue that I would be arriving to meet friends for lunch using the Welcome by Neatebox app they have installed which alerts staff to any accessibility and assistance requirements you have before you arrive at their venue. I arrived with a fellow guide dog owner and we were met at the entrance of the building and shown through to the cafe where some of our friends had already arrived.
