A project by FRIENDS OF COLLETT

Mobile Coffee Shop

The children and young people at our school already have challenging lives ahead of them but life can be significantly less challenging if they are given a chance to 'play on a level field'. Transferable, employable life skills and being out and part of the community will bring many benefits enabling our children and young people to access opportunities and break down prejudices. The project is to set up and run a mobile café run by our year 10 and 11 students.

Why they need our service

Selling in the carparks of local business' on a weekly basis and periodically at Community events i.e The Herts Show Showing how many of our students are employable and change hearts and minds in one of the most prejudiced areas of disability. The unseen disabilities of Special Educational Needs.Many potential employers are nervous about taking on young people with SEN if however they can say "I can, because I am already doing it" i.e serving, customer facing & working a till may open doors
