About Us
Learn more about the founder behind Sensory Paradise: Sharmah Mannings and what makes her Community Interest Company different.
Why I decided to set up Community Interest Company
As an infant just seven weeks old I contracted meningitis. Thus I was rushed into hospital where the surgeon performed neurosurgery on me, a procedure that entailed fluid being drained from my brain. It was then the surgeon told my mum there was a 50/50 chance of me surviving. And if I were to survive I would be permanently brain damaged.
However, thanks to a miracle from above I overcome the disease without having brain damage or dying. Although, it left me with a mild form of cerebral palsy, difficulties with my fine motor skills and learning difficulties (dyslexia and dyspraxia). This life threatening event inspired me to set up a community interest company for children with disabilities, as I myself have a hidden disability and believe that I have been blessed to help the less fortunate in society.

What makes Sensory Paradise different?
My product/ service are unique from competitors because:
Sensory Paradise: offers a unique/ bespoke product offering with a friendly service at an affordable price. That specialises in meeting the needs of children with disabilities. As well as, children who suffer from any form of sensory deprivation. Since the products are specifically designed and fitted with features, that aid the social and cognitive development of children with special needs.
Furthermore, research has revealed that children with autism in particular can experience many issues ranging from physical balance, coordination and fine motor skills to sensory problems. Plus, no two children with disabilities are the same.
Therefore, Sensory Paradise aims to provide a tailored product offering that best satisfies the children’s individual sensory needs and wants. This unique selling point (USP) allows Sensory Paradise to differentiate from competitors, as all present competing firms do not provide such service.

Sensory Paradise will meet the legal and insurance requirements by the following:
We have purchased public liability insurance that holds at least £5million cover.
