Cork has no space like this.
We're changing that.
Puffy World CLG is building Cork's first inclusive sensory play community — creating opportunities for children and employment pathways for those who need them most. We're looking for partners who share our vision.
Our Story
An ordinary person building
an extraordinary world
Puffy World started with one woman, one idea, and a lot of lived experience.
Renata is a nanny, an immigrant, a person with a disability. She knows what it feels like to not quite fit the system — and she knows what children need, because she has spent years in the room with them.
She couldn't find a space that was truly for everyone. So she decided to build one.
Puffy World CLG is that space. Still small. Still growing. But built on something real.
Our Mission
For Children
For Children & Families
Sensory play sessions designed for the whole family together — not children delivered to an activity while parents wait outside. Every nervous system welcome.
For People
For People Facing Barriers
Real employment pathways — not tokenism. We actively recruit people with disabilities, lone parents, refugees, and long-term jobseekers, and invest in keeping them.
For Cork
For Cork Communities
Local procurement, mobile outreach to rural areas, and a model where economic benefit stays in the community. A project that gives back by design.
Our Vision
A Puffy Space in every community
We believe every child deserves access to a sensory environment designed with care — and every parent deserves the freedom to choose something calm, thoughtful, and close.
Our vision is simple: a world where Puffy Space is part of everyday Irish life. Not a special occasion. Not a therapy service. Just a place that's always there — welcoming, familiar, and genuinely for everyone.
One community at a time.
Our Values
Regulation
Every Puffy session is designed around the nervous system — sensory-friendly environments that help children (and adults) feel safe, calm, and ready to connect.
Inclusion
Not inclusion as a checkbox. Inclusion as a starting point. Every session, every space, every hire — designed from the beginning to welcome everyone.
Empathy
We build with the people we serve, not for them. Lived experience isn't a bonus here — it's the foundation.
Ways To Get Involved
Networking
Share our story. Every introduction, every recommendation, every "you should meet these people" moves us forward.
