Get Fed: deserve another shot
Donation protected
Get Fed is a new way of working with young people at risk of exclusion and exploitation.
We all know people who’ve struggled in school - maybe you were that child or you’re currently trying to support one?
As a Youth Worker I’ve worked with many young people who just don’t fit and by the time they’re teenagers they’ve learned a hard, hard lesson - they’re not going to get those 5 GCSE’s and progress nicely, they might be missing school completely and feeling quite desperate. This is where the drug dealers step in and recruit vulnerable kids into ‘working’ for them. It’s rife and it’s hella risky.
Fed up with the system that creates more and more of these scary stories it is time to hit back and offer young people a creative, intensive shot at running their own business - safely and legally. Selling coffee instead of crack; caffeine instead of cocaine.
They’ll learn barista and business skills over 12 sessions and be supported to organise their own gig where they can sell drinks and make 50% of the profits.
It’s going to be a new start for some young people who thought their lives were over and I bet we’re going to discover some young business geniuses.
With £10k of corporate sponsorship we bought our cheeky little Piaggio tuk tuk, custom fitted with chrome-plated Fracino steam machine. So chic!!
Almost ready to train up young barista’s and come to an event near you we’re so close to delivering this opportunity but need help to get over the line.
Please help Get Fed become the learning place for young people who deserve another shot!
