Food Truck - Jobs - Special Needs

Donation protected
Hello Everyone,

My name is Simon and I am the proud Founder and Managing Director of The Inclusion Project. 

The Inclusion Project is an innovative initiative that promotes a healthy, social and active lifestyle for young adults with learning difficulties. The emphasis is for participants to be included into the local community. 
Post education life can be an abyss for people with learning difficulties, it can be difficult to find activities during week days that will facilitate the lifestyle that young adults desire. The Inclusion Project is set to solve this issue.

A big issue that a lot of people with Learning Disabilities face is gaining regular paid employment, I am now trying to find new solutions where we can provide businesses so we can employ and offer voluntary work for people with Learning Disabilities ourselves, and support them with gaining experience that they can use to apply for job roles in the general public or work within the business that we have set up and be paid correctly for their work.

We are currently working to set up a gardening business for our Participants whom we support and would like to have a gourmet food truck to help those whom wish to work in the catering industry. 

Our vision is to purchase a school bus which is converted into a food truck, to sell gourmet ‘up market’ food in the St Albans area. There will be a professional chef, working with our Participants whom will be supported by The Inclusion Project staff and teaching them the food trade first hand. 

The Participants would be supported the whole way through the process by The Inclusion Project staff. The Participants would start as volunteers and then be given references and a C.V that they can use to apply for jobs and we will be hiring a team of people with Learning Disabilities to work full time in the food truck.

The food truck will operate daily and will also sell merchandise and condiments etc.

What we need the money for is the food truck itself, we know that there will be lots of other expenses - health and safety, food hygiene so on and so on, but the real big cost is the actual food truck itself and a place to store it over night.

The result of what we can achieve is unmeasurable, to help get people with Learning Disabilities into work is our goal and with a donation from you, we believe that we can help.

Thank you for your time in reading this and please share this with anyone who may be interested.

Thank you for your support.
