About Us

We are dedicated to creating inclusive, meaningful vocational training and employment opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities.

 

We are a Work Integration Social Enterprise (WISE) that operates a two-part business model that combines our Employment Readiness Programmes with income-generating social enterprise activities such as pop-up café events, market stalls, lilac hatch and corporate catering services. We offer a supportive, real-world environment where participants can develop practical skills, build confidence, and gain valuable workplace experience.

Our Purpose 

Creating real-world learning pathways for inclusive, supported employment success.​​

We believe that every individual has unique strengths and the ability to contribute to society when given the right support. Our programmes combine hands-on baking, cooking, barista training, workplace readiness, and personal development to help participants grow in independence and self-belief. By focusing on ability rather than limitation, we empower individuals to see paid employment as an achievable and rewarding goal. We also place a strong emphasis on supporting the next generation of school leavers, helping them to view part-time paid employment as a realistic and attainable pathway for their future.
