The Hub.
The Brody’s Trust Sensory Hub in Joys Green is an accessible and inclusive space created for children and young people with additional needs, disabilities and complex medical conditions, and the families who support them.
From specialist sensory spaces to accessible family facilities, every part of The Hub has been designed to create opportunities to play, learn, grow and thrive.
There's a space for everyone.
Every room at The Hub has a different purpose. Some provide specialist sensory experiences, some give families the facilities they need and others bring people together.
