We’re in the news! 🙌

Recently, our Petty Pool in the Community members have been busy learning new life skills thanks to an amazing partnership with Weaver Vale Housing Trust and support from the Fusion21 Foundation.

From budgeting and job readiness to building confidence and communication skills, these sessions have been all about helping our members feel more independent and empowered.

At Petty Pool in the Community, we go beyond the idea of a “day provision.”

We create real opportunities for our members through volunteering, work experience, social connection and skills for independent living.

Every day we build confidence, create belonging, and open doors to brighter futures. This is what empowerment is all about.

At Petty Pool in the Community, our members with learning disabilities aren’t just supported, they’re empowered to climb higher and push boundaries.

This isn’t a day provision. It’s a place where confidence grows, friendships form and independence is built one step at a time.

We’re not here to fill time. We’re here to build futures.

Calling all Tarporley High Street businesses – do you have a spot for a lovely hanging basket?

To help brighten up the high street, the Tarporley Freemasons have generously donated funds for a bunch of beautiful hanging baskets, lovingly created by the team at Petty Pool in the Community, based in Sandiway.

You might have noticed some of them popping up around the village already – they’re looking great! We’ve still got three left to give away, and we’d love them to find a good home.

If you’ve got space outside your shop or business and fancy one, just drop us a message and we’ll sort out delivery.

Let’s keep Tarporley blooming!

We had the joy of spending a beautiful sunny day at the stunning Chirk Castle with our Petty Pool in the community members.

From exploring the grand halls to strolling through the beautiful gardens, the visit was filled with smiles, laughter, and new experiences. It was more than just a day out — it was a celebration of inclusion, friendship, and shared discovery.

Huge thank you to the wonderful staff at Chirk Castle for making us feel so welcome.
