Do you enjoy going on outings and trips? Do you want to go on more?

Guideposts wants people with learning disabilities to have more opportunities to go on outings and trips. That’s why we have introduced Never Seen, Never Been.

What outings, trips and holidays are coming up?

For 2024 we are planning an exciting programme of adventurous day trips and longer breaks, including:

Day trips

  • Day Trips to the Seaside
  • London sightseeing
  • Canal boat trips
  • Ten-Pin Bowling
  • Christmas Market visits
  • 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.

If you believe that new experiences should be accessible to all, regardless of disability, you can support our campaign to make it happen.

See our Never Seen, Never Been campaign page for more ways you can help, by spreading the word, volunteering, donating, or sponsoring a trip.

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 are:
