Who we are

Lily & Lime is a social enterprise dedicated to empowering individuals with learning disabilities through comprehensive training and employment opportunities in the hospitality sector.

 We run the cafés at Portsmouth Central Library and The View at Portsmouth City Council Civic Offices.

Our cafés offer a welcoming environment where customers can enjoy a variety of freshly prepared, affordable food and beverages. We take pride in our friendly service and the quality of our offerings, which are produced either in-house within our training kitchen or sourced from local businesses.

We are proud to be part of Minstead Trust, a local charity committed to supporting over 320 people with learning disabilities along the south coast of England.

I completed my apprenticeship, I have also learnt to communicate better and work better in a team.

I can also make all the drinks and do food prep.

I am now a paid member of staff.
