Who we are
The Cheesy Waffles Project is a registered charity for children, young people and adults with additional needs from across County Durham. Although our project is predominantly for people with learning disabilities it is not exclusive to, and everyone is welcome to attend.
We have been providing a range of sessions, activities and more to members since 2004. We currently have 10 clubs during the week for children, young people and adults, plus a Saturday session, daytime provision and activities during half term and summer holidays.
Project members can gain a variety of Awards and Accreditation delivered by our qualified staff team including The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, ASDAN Short Courses, Arts Award, V Involved Award and in house attendance and participation awards.
We rely on funding from grants, donations and fundraising to subsidise
our activities to ensure they are accessible and inclusive for all.
The project continues to grow and works within the local community
to support cohesion and raise disability awareness through positive
events and programmes.
Members can participate in educational activities, life skills, performing arts, sports, wellbeing, singing & dance, cooking, community work, art, residentials, trips away, shopping excursions, meals out and more.
This gives an opportunity to go out without support from family, giving respite to carers and also developing independent skills.
We encourage members to engage in community work making gifts for others, working with local trusts, fundraising for chosen charities and supporting local community projects this encourages self-esteem and confidence and raises their profile in the local community.
All members learn skills through taking part in activities that will help them with the transition into adulthood promoting self-awareness and independence.
