The Wingate Centre

The Wingate Centre The Wingate Centre offers residential and recreational facilities for individuals with SEND. To book Mini Play click on Get Tickets.

We provide a range of activities for both SEND groups and community groups. The Wingate Centre, home to The Wingate Special Children's Trust CIO, offers subsidised tailored residential holiday experiences for schools, as well as holiday opportunities for groups supporting children and adults with physical and learning disabilities, those with neurodiversity, and disadvantaged children. These group

s can enjoy a genuine holiday experience, free from the limitations of home, in our safe and accessible environment. Our charity also offers enriching subsidised day activities for individuals with SEND, as well as hosting activities for SEND schools and organisations. These activities could be in our 7,000-square-foot gymnasium, which includes a competition-size sprung floor, an in-floor trampoline, and two standard trampolines. Additional facilities include a sensory room available for hire and a large recreational hall that hosts our popular SPARKS groups, including evening discos. We also offer evening and weekend sports and social groups for school-aged children with SEND. In addition to our charitable programme, the Centre warmly invites the wider community to join in activities that directly support the charity and its mission. These include Mini Play, an active-play session in the gym for children under five, twice a week, as well as gymnastics sessions on select days for school-aged and pre-school children. Our facility also hosts local groups such as cheerleading and Pilates. The Sunshine Café, open to the public, provides another way to support our work, and our unique venue is available for children’s birthday parties. The sensory room, ideal for babies and toddlers, can also be booked for private sessions. Every booking at The Wingate Centre contributes directly to our mission, helping us provide meaningful day activities and holiday experiences for children and adults with SEND, as well as disadvantaged children, both locally and across the UK. For more information or to book a day activity, school residential holiday, or to join one of our community groups, please visit our website or call—we’d be delighted to help!

Something wonderful is happening on the Chester City Walls this week.

From midnight on Thursday 18 June, the team at Legat Owen Residential will walk the historic Chester City Walls continuously for 40 hours. Forty hours! The same two-mile circuit, again and again, through the night and into the day!!

Legat Owen are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a commitment to raise £40,000 for four local charities by the end of 2026 - and the Wingate Centre are one of them.

And they have already reached the half-way mark with their fundraising, even before the event.

The families and children we support at The Wingate Centre often face challenges that most of us will never fully understand. And this fundraising will make a huge impact.

If you'd like to get behind their challenge, you can donate here: https://gvwhl.com/OFKUO

Every pound matters. A huge thank-you to the whole Legat Owen team!

Why we launched Wingate Holidays…

If you’re a parent of a child with disabilities or additional needs, you’ll know how difficult it can be to find a holiday that’s right for you.

It shouldn’t be like that. After all, everyone deserves a stress-free break without worrying about accessibility and other issues.

So, we’ve tapped into what we’ve learned over decades supporting children and adults with SEND to launch our fully accessible, self-catering holiday accommodation here at The Wingate Centre.

Located within the centre’s grounds in the peaceful Cheshire countryside, you’ll have access to beautiful outdoor spaces, an on-site cafe and a packed programme of activity options. There's also a range of accessible local tourist attractions like Chester Zoo.

By choosing Wingate Holidays in Wrenbury, near Nantwich, your family can look forward to a welcoming, calm and safe stay.

Plus, you’ll be supporting The Wingate Centre’s work to brighten the lives of children and adults with SEND.
