Juggernauts CIC

02/06/2026

⭐ U P D A T E ⭐
Yesterday we had a great meeting with the very supportive team at Wigan Council. Although we're itching to get started, this is a very big project and some things take longer than our excitement can handle!

The great news is that it IS moving forward and we're not the types to twiddle our thumbs till we get the lease.

So! What can we do?

1. An application has been submitted for funding for an outdoor cinema. This way we can all get together in a safe or enclosed space while we wait for our lease and raise funds for the park. 💰

2. We are contacting schools to arrange workshops so that YOU can plan the playground. Every family can design the perfect park for their child. Then the most popular items will go into the final design. If you would like us to come to your child's school please comment with the name below. 🏫

3. We have ordered the best merchandise to start us off with our fundraising. They're running a little late but should be here soon! 😎

4. The GoFundMe is Live! If you can share or donate please do 👇

5. ANYONE who fundraises for Juggernauts will get a plaque mounted on the piece of equipment that they helped raise money for. We want everyone to be able to see what they helped achieve and see how many people came together to make it happen.

6. Please let other SEN families know that this is happening. This is a million pound project, it isn't going to be easy but it is going to be EPIC! 💪

7. We will be sharing our information booklet over the next few days so that everyone is up to date and on the same page. Feel free to share your suggestions to improve it.

8. Wanna be a trustee? Email [email protected]

We'll chop all this up into separate posts for those of us who don't like reading massive essays 😊

You know those days when we just need to get out of the house but don't feel like there is anywhere safe to go, they will soon be gone.

Soon, Juggernauts will be that place!

To celebrate we have created a troll house and left it in the Springfield, Beech Hill and Gidlow area. Let us know if you spot it!

Just a little outdoor fun ☺️

Today we were invited to attend the annual general meeting of this very special place. The people who run CommUnity Corner are the ones who helped get our SEN outdoor family fun days started, which then led to the amazing 7th Wigan Squirrels: Revolution

We are incredibly lucky to have been welcomed in by such a supportive organisation!

They even made space to celebrate our plans for our SEN park!

Thank you Springfield and Gidlow Supporters & Northern heart and Soul CIC

⚠️Your feedback matters!⚠️
The feedback questionnaires have been sent out, please check your spam and complete it. We really do listen to your suggestions.

After the summer sessions you said:
⏰ You would prefer no set sessions so that you could enjoy the day at your child's pace.
✔️ We removed the set sessions
🏫 The children would prefer more activities inside the building
✔️ We added a sensory tent, even more snacks, trains and more!
🚽 Better facilities.
✔️ We've added a temporary changing bed but we are working on making everything the best it can be, this is a much bigger project so will take time.

Having your feedback also helps secure funding for future events and projects.

Thank you! 😊

Where it all began. 🌱⛅
We knew there was a need for SEN families to have a safe outdoor space during school holidays. We knew this because we're one of them.

In 2025 we reached out to the amazing people at Northern Heart & Soul CIC and explained our struggles, they instantly jumped to action. They also introduced us to a local primary school, Wigan Councils HAF team and our local scouts group.

The groups were also supported by Wigan's speech and language team, direct payments team, family support teams, embrace, local fire service and so many more!

Everyone came together to create an amazing, supportive and safe environment for these children.

We will be continuing these sessions in 2026 with th hope to find a permanent home and expand our offering of opportunities.
