Our visit to 14 Henrietta Street was one I will never forget. We laughed, we cried, and we left with a deep knowledge of the rich history that is 14 Henrietta Street.

When we arrived for our tour, I noticed a sign on their front desk that drew attention to their sensory box. As an avid fidget and sensory toy lover, I found this to be a remarkable example of CSR in the wild. As we learned about the history of Henrietta Street, the tour was quite heavy and somber at times. I can imagine how a child must feel during the tour, as the stories of those who lived on Henrietta Street were tragic and anxiety-inducing.

Giving not just children, but people of all ages, the opportunity to have something small to bring with them on the tour to calm them down and reduce sensory overload is an incredible initiative that the Henrietta Street tour is taking. The sensory box is a great example of a CSR initiative, and it is clear that the staff at 14 Henrietta Street truly care about the well-being of their visitors.
