Thanks to our partnership with Venturewood - Formerly Petty Pool Outdoor Education Centre, we’re able to create opportunities for our members to build confidence, develop new skills and connect with the outdoors.

Last year, a group of our members tried out canoeing on Winsford Flashes and braved the zip wire, climbing wall and crate stacking challenge!

It was a brilliant day full of teamwork, encouragement and plenty of proud moments. A huge thank you to Dan and Oli from Venturewood for making it such a great experience 🙌

Here are some of the highlights 🎥

A lovely moment from our London trip on Monday 💙

Our members had the opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament and meet our local MP to Petty Pool Vocational College, Aphra Brandreth.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with our group, it meant a lot to everyone involved and made the day even more special!
