Catering for the needs of everyone

A charity providing vocational training to people with learning needs is cooking up a storm.

Vision 21’s Fieldway Kitchen develops its students catering and social skills, whilst also serving up a regular food service. With students given the autonomy to create their own menu, the kitchen provides daily meals for the site’s other users and makes contributions to the charity’s buffet service.

The project is vital in empowering its students, giving them opportunities that are unavailable elsewhere. Catering instructor, Richard Lane says, “These adults leave education and don’t have anywhere to go. We want them to have a value, an interest, stimulation. Above all, we want them to be happy.”
