HYPERCLUB are shining a new light on self-care in Lochgelly's Main Street as they open their new sensory rooms. 

The charity have created both a water bed sensory room and a tactile sensory room at their new facility, with the latter costing a whopping £15,000.

A donation from the Wooden Spoon charity contributed to a large part of the sensory room, with the rest being funded by Suzie Connelly, the inspirational founder of Hyperclub.

By using sensory rooms, it gives both neurotypical and neurodivergent people a chance to self-regulate, using the sensory input that they need at that time, whether that be with lights, sounds or touch.

Suzie told the Times: "We’ve had folk booking it for babies, there's elderly folk wanting to book it and there’s loads of disabled people wanting to book it.  

"It’s going to have a lot of benefits for loads of people, the water bed one, some of the children that are autistic, they just come in and lie on it and watch the bubbles on the ceiling. It’s just really relaxing.

"I think that's why the mums bring their babies along, it’s good for babies, it’s good for anybody that’s feeling anxious or stressed out.  

"Even people who are deaf or blind will use it, just so that they can touch all the tactile stuff. Really anybody can use it if they want to chill out."

With both rooms, they're able to cater to a lot of different sensory needs but it's not just Hyperclub service users that can make use of this - anyone can book in.

Similarly, Hyperclub offer a range of different classes for anyone and everyone, including the school holidays, and they also run a community cafe from their new base in Lochgelly. 

Suzie added: "We’ve got the activity cafe and loads of workshops going on, there are workshops on every day. There’s something for everybody, every day, and the classes are only £5 per person, they’re so cheap!"
