Trips & Camping
At The Puddle Project, we believe that learning, confidence, and friendships grow even more when we step outside our usual surroundings. That’s why trips and days out are a key part of our adult service provision. Our trips are designed around the interests and goals of our adults.
Camping is a chance to build friendships, try something new, and create lasting memories
Included
Events
At The Puddle Project, we love bringing people together through fun, inclusive events for adults with SEND and their families. From seasonal celebrations and sports days to music nights, BBQs, and themed socials, our events are designed to build confidence, create friendships, and offer joyful, memorable experiences.
Sports Day Event – Friendly competition where local companies and businesses go head-to-head with our adult provision in a series of inclusive games and challenges. From boccia to tug-of-war, it’s all about teamwork, laughter, and breaking down barriers.
Introducing
The Can-do Crew
At The Puddle Project, we’re proud to introduce The Can-Do Crew, a powerful new initiative driven by our adult SEND provision, designed to combine environmental impact with social purpose. Led by a dedicated group of adults with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, the Can-Do Crew is on a mission to collect, sort, and recycle aluminium cans across the Warrington community.
The Can-Do Crew is more than a recycling scheme. It’s a celebration of ability, teamwork, and what’s possible when a community comes together. We believe in what our adults can do – and we’re building a future where their work, joy, and value are recognised by all.
