Sensory Processing Month 💙

We all experience things differently. Sounds, smells, textures, lights and movement all affect how we feel and how we experience the world around us.

At HF Mencap, we’re all about creating opportunities for people to try new things, have fun, get involved and find what works for them.

We’re also really excited that plans are in the works for a new sensory room! A place for clients to relax, explore and enjoy sensory experiences in a way that works for them.

Here’s a little look at some of the things we’ve been getting up to 💙

Umar —

Course 1: Leather Bags & Accessories

Umar was part of the first London Makers cohort, joining our Leather Bags & Accessories course with a clear ambition: to build their portfolio and prepare for studying Product Design at university.

Working alongside London-based artist and designer Amelie Matignon, Umar explored leather working, product design and creative enterprise, developing their ideas from concept through to making.

Inspired by their passion for aviation, Umar designed and produced this bespoke clutch bag, combining their own creative interests with the skills they developed throughout the course.

For Umar, London Makers provided a space to build confidence, develop their creative practice and take a step towards further education.

London Makers is a free creative enterprise programme for neurodivergent people and people with learning disabilities aged 16+. Through artist-led courses, mentoring and hands-on making, makers develop creative skills, create real-world products and explore pathways into education, enterprise, volunteering and employment.
