Only 5% of adults with a learning disability are in paid employment

We want to change this
Many young people with learning disabilities leave school with limited life skills and opportunities. Our work begins from age 11, helping to develop confidence, build social skills, and ultimately increase employability.
At the same time, we support families and carers by offering much-needed respite.
We run two award-winning social enterprise cafes and a bakery where young adults gain hands-on experience through our
‘Life-Changing’ traineeship programme.
From testing recipes to taking orders, trainees are involved in every step, gaining vital skills and work experience in a safe, supportive environment.
