My hopeful story is an incredible cafe called Fair Shot in London. A social enterprise that supports and transforms the lives of young adults with learning disabilities and autism through training them to be baristas and work in coffee shops.
95% of adults with learning disabilities are unemployed so through their hospitality program they take on a cohort of interns every year, train them up and then support them in finding work in other cafes.
The support continues with Fair Shot providing a grant to the cafe where their intern is employed to contribute towards access needs and training for the first year. It's such a great thing to get my coffee from there every morning!
