Our history

Worcester Snoezelen was founded as a charity in 1993 by Penny Brazier, who had the vision to transform a space into a multisensory leisure facility designed to provide a safe and creative environment for anyone in need of extra support and care. Over the years, the centre has grown and evolved to provide more services, care and positive environments for individuals of all ages with learning disabilities, additional needs, dementia, physical disabilities and more – alongside their friends and families.
