Forth Valley Sensory Centre is celebrating 20 years of supporting people with sensory loss.
The charity has been providing specialist support to people with sight and hearing loss since it opened in 2006.
Jacquie Winning MBE, chief executive, said: "The centre has now been here for people across Forth Valley for two decades, and we’re proud to play a vital role in helping people work, study, and socialise, as well as supporting their health and wellbeing.
"Centre users, volunteers, and staff all come together to make sure that every person who has sensory loss is included and supported, as part of a thriving community.
"Our work depends on the people who give up their time to volunteer for us, and those who make donations, and fundraise.
"We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports us and those who attend the centre, and we look forward to celebrating with you."
The centre, in Camelon, cost £1.5 million to build and was hailed as one of the most advanced in the world when it opened.
It features a specialised IT suite and breakout rooms, which are used to run computer classes for people with sensory loss.
More than 30 classes and groups are on offer at the centre.
Activities include cookery classes led by DeafBlind cook David Black, who also prepares the food for the fully accessible onsite cafe.
Other sessions include book groups, knit and natter sessions, a walking group, braille classes, and the Sensory Singers choir.
Lessons on British Sign Language and lip reading are also available.
The charity also runs sensory awareness training for businesses and in schools.
