Why It Matters

Shopping centres can often be overwhelming environments, with bright lights, crowds, and background noise creating challenges for individuals with sensory sensitivities.

We believe shopping should be a positive experience for everyone. Whether you or a loved one could benefit from a Sensory Borrow Backpack, we invite you to take advantage of this initiative and enjoy a more comfortable visit to The Glades💙
