Mustard Seed
Education & Skills
We want to develop our life skills training programme to help vulnerable people live independent lives.
About this cause
As a charity we support a wide range of vulnerable individuals (adults with learning disabilities, people who are long term out of work, homeless individuals, individuals suffering with mental health issues and those on the verge of being excluded from school or college) by providing life skills and work related skills training within the catering industry by running a community cafe, sandwich round, vegetable round and allotment.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Learning basic life skills enables each individual to live more independent lives, and become less reliant on statutory agencies such as the NHS and social services. We encourage each individual that accesses our programme to not only learn skills that help themselves but to also help those around them. And by helping others this in turn helps to build self confidence and self worth.
