Wonderful email today from Sam Williams, Founder of https://sameacres.com/ - it was an honour to have been recognised and we will wear our badge with pride!

Hi Surrey Heath Museum team,

I am reaching out as the parent of a neurodivergent child and founder of SameAcres, a free platform helping families find local spaces where our children are welcomed and supported.

I am pleased to share that Surrey Heath Museum is featured on SameAcres as a recognised Sensory-Friendly Location for A calmer indoor day out — plenty of space and easy to leave early if you need to. in Camberley.

SameAcres highlights venues offering provisions such as calm indoor space, which help create calm, inclusive, and accessible environments. Finding spaces where our children feel safe makes a significant difference to families across the country, so thank you for the work you do.

You should be really proud of this achievement.
