Welcome to Sensory Emergency
A Safe Space
when they need it most
Mobile sensory support bringing calm to Sheffield’s SEND children at events, parties and big days out.
WHEN FUN BECOMES OVERWHELMING
Parties, fayres, and events should be brilliant days out for every child.
But for SEND and autistic children, the noise, crowds and sensory input can quickly turn excitement into overload. There’s often nowhere to retreat, nowhere to reset, nowhere to just be themselves for a bit.
That’s where we come in.
Your Mobile Safe Space
The Sensory Ambulance is a converted medical vehicle transformed into a calm, controlled environment where children can take time to re-centre when the world gets a bit much.
We bring the ambulance directly to your event, party or venue – creating an accessible refuge that’s always nearby when it’s needed.

Built From Experience. Driven By Need
I’m Wade Savage, and I’ve spent years working with SEND and autistic children across Sheffield. Time and again, I’ve seen how overwhelming public events can be – and how little provision there is for children who need a moment to step away.
When I found this disused ambulance, everything clicked. Here was the perfect mobile solution – big enough for proper sensory equipment, small enough to park up at any event, and equipped to provide exactly what these kids need.
This isn’t just a business. It’s about making sure every child gets to enjoy the big days out, the parties, the celebrations – with the support they deserve.
Perfect For
Events & Fayres
Community events, festivals, school fayres and public celebrations wanting to be truly inclusive.
Private Parties

Schools & Groups
Educational settings, support groups and organisations working with SEND children.
DEMO PROGRAMME
Help Us Perfect The Experience
We’re currently looking for families, events and schools willing to trial the Sensory Ambulance and share their feedback.
This is your chance to be part of something that could change how accessible public events are for SEND children across the region.
If you’re interested in hosting a demo or having the ambulance visit, we’d love to hear from you.
The Start of Something Bigger
Our dream is simple: that sensory ambulances become as common at events as bouncy castles and food stalls.
Every child deserves to be themselves, to have space when they need it, and to enjoy the same experiences as everyone else.
This ambulance is the blueprint. Let’s make it happen together.
