50km Charity Walk by ONE in aid of Worcester Snoezelen
Posted: 19 September 2025
Last week (11 and 12 September 2025), members of ONE Creative environments’ (ONE’s) team completed a 50km walk to raise funds for Worcester Snoezelen.
The walk, which was from Birmingham to Worcester – a route connecting two of the company’s office locations, is one of a number of charitable activities taking place as part of ONE’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
The Snoezelen caters for people with a wide range of disabilities and additional needs, providing a wonderful multi-sensory environment with therapeutic and recreational activities designed to improve well-being, stimulate the senses and promote relaxation.
ONE’s multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers, and landscape architects has been working with the Snoezelen on their expansion plans, aimed at modernising and enhancing accessibility across both their indoor and outdoor spaces. The project will increase the centre’s capacity to deliver a wider range of therapeutic activities to benefit children, young people and adults with a range of physical, sensory, learning and complex needs.
The plans include a new entrance lobby, purpose-built therapy rooms, a sensory wing, additional car parking, and a therapy garden. Phase 3 will deliver a new hall, music room, rebound room, activity studios, and formalised parking, significantly enhancing the centre’s overall provision.
The money raised will support the Snoezelen in their expansion plans and service delivery, increasing capacity so they can help more people as well as providing opportunities for further therapeutic activities.
ONE’s initial fundraising target of £2,500, which would cover the paving to the new entrance and improve accessibility to the building, has been surpassed with nearly £4,000 raised with Gift Aid. The team is now keen to raise as much as possible before the end of September.

Mark Martin, Chairman of ONE, said: “Worcester Snoezelen is a truly wonderful charity. Having worked closely with them, I have seen first-hand the difference they make to people’s lives.”
“Thank you to everyone that has supported the 50km walk – we may have had sore legs and feet, but we all had smiles on our faces. We know how much these expansion plans will benefit people with disabilities and additional needs and it is a pleasure to help with the fundraising.”
“Any further donations are very much appreciated and thank you for your support.”
