Spider Project is a Wirral based Community Interest Company, dedicated to creating opportunities for people to be happier, healthier and well-connected. We are committed to transforming peoples’ lives and places through creativity, social, environmental, enterprise and democratic action. We believe everybody has a place within our community and everyone is an asset. We provide a creative environment for our Members to be the best they can; we do not have clients, customers or service users - only Members, welcomed by our values: ‘Community-Trust-Honesty-Respect.’

In Birkenhead, we run an abstinence project for people with former substance misuse issues and / or mental health issues as well as the Compañeros Crisis Café which aims to divert people away from Accident and Emergency (A&E) and other traditional crisis services by using our dynamic Creative Recovery approach.
