Sam's Work Place
Sam's Workplace offers a realistic, fun and supportive working placement for people with a learning disability, together with independence and social skills. We run a small cafe and sweet shop, so there are plenty of opportunities for daily life and work skills, money skills, weight and measuring, catering, customer care and social interaction in a supported and friendly environment. We are based within our local community and have allotments based in Blidworth offering a seed to table project growing fruit and vegetables, together with horticulture skills and some small animal care with chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs.
We also have an enterprise workshop above the shop, making arts and crafts goods for sale within the shop and at local community fairs.
We also have an independent bedroom, bathroom and kitchen training areas so our users can learn home making skills such as hoovering, bed making, dusting, cleaning which can be replicated at home.
But most of all we have lots of fun whilst on site, and often arrange trips out within our local community, utilising travelling skills and social interactions.
