Very accessible venue

As I'm sure you can imagine a facility run by Sense Scotland is very accessible. A lot of disability organizations use this place for obvious reasons.

Fantastic changing facilities!

My daughter has a rare neurological syndrome and has a lot of different seizures every day, which can be triggered by almost anything. I feel apprehensive taking her anywhere just in case, but at Touchbase she is comfortable and stimulated.
