HELP WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

All visitors with special needs will be assisted to enjoy Amma’s Programme.

When you arrive, please join the token line and let a volunteer know a bit about your concerns. They will bring someone who will be able to quickly assess your needs and provide a comfortable solution.

It’s important to join the token line if you are able, as it’s the best way to get a token to receive Amma’s embrace. If you arrive after the token line has dispersed, please ask a volunteer how to get one. Volunteers are happy to assist you and make sure you are properly taken care of in a way that is both comfortable and efficient.
