Empowering Employment
At Lily & Lime, we are proud to be part of Minstead Trust’s Empowering Employment programme, providing meaningful work training and employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autism.
Building skills, changing lives
Every day we support individuals to:
Develop Essential Skills
From customer service and teamwork to time management and communication, we provide hands-on training in a real-world setting.
Gain Confidence
By working in our café and catering business, individuals build the self-assurance they need to thrive.
Work Towards Employment
Our programme helps trainees take meaningful steps towards independent and fulfilling employment opportunities.
Finding a work role can be life-changing for individuals with learning disabilities. It fosters pride, independence, and a sense of purpose. At Lily & Lime, we see firsthand the incredible impact this journey has on the people we support and their families.
The apprenticeship programme has helped me to become more confident.
Now I realise how much I can do.
I am enjoying working at Lily & Lime cafés in Portsmouth.
It’s helped me socially and professionally.
I have made some great friends here and learnt a lot of new skills.
