For 2023 we are planning an exciting programme of adventurous day trips and longer breaks, including:
Residential trips
- A sailing trip on the Solent
- A weekend trip to Norfolk, to stay in an accessible cottage and take boat trips
- A short break to Butlin’s
- Camping with BBQ at our Outdoor Wellbeing Hub
Day trips
- Day Trip to Chessington World of Adventures
- Day Trips to the Seaside at Weston Super-Mare
- Canal boat trips
- Ten-Pin Bowling
- Steam railway experience
- Christmas Market visits
- London sightseeing
- Theatre trips
Many of these are in the planning stages and will depend on costs and practicalities as to whether they can go ahead.
Please tell us if you would like to take part in any of these trips.

What is Guideposts’ experience?
Guideposts has over 50 years’ experience supporting people to live in their community, and take part in activities they would otherwise be excluded from.
Since the end of Covid restrictions, the people we support with learning disabilities have told us about their renewed enthusiasm for going on trips and excursions. We want to help.
Some of the experiences we have organised since 2021 are:
