Diverse Sensory Calm Space

The charity Diverse UK is joining us this year with their Sensory Calm Space. They aim to provide a safe, low-level stimulation and recalibration zone for those on the Autistic Spectrum or for those who need a place to have a moment of calm, rather than having to leave the festival. Diverse is a charity that exists to provide social contact for people who have a diagnosis of or identify as Autistic. Diverse is about helping people with autism to develop social networks and self-confidence using their interests and ultimately reducing social isolation. The small tent is located next to medics & welfare. Please keep an eye out for the logo above and feel free to talk to a member of staff about what they do across Bristol, South Gloucester, Bath and North Somerset.
