Help Employ SEN Young Adults - Coffee Truck Fund

Hjalpande Hander gives young adults with special needs the chance to get paid work operating a catering trailer at local events such as fetes, festivals, market days, sports days etc. 

We are looking to get an easy-to-use, accessible coffee machine for our staff so they can provide excellent coffee and get booked for more events. We hope that providing high quality coffee will encourage businesses to hire our catering van and therefore support the employment of young adults with special needs!

We have some events coming up soon but, at the moment, we can only offer filter coffee.  Please help us in our effort to raise enough money to buy the van a coffee machine!

Whether it's 50p or £10, we thank you for helping us on our way!

Thank you so much, from the Hjalpande Hander Team

ABOUT US

Did you know that only 6% of adults with Special Needs are paid for the work they perform.  We think that's wrong.

In July 2018, a few of us got together and decided that what we needed was an enterprise that gave us flexibility to offer a range of work opportunities, would be fun and would allow us to pay the young adults for their efforts.  To us, the obvious solution was a catering trailer or van; loads of roles, the chance to immerse the young adults in the wider community and a variety of events to maintain interest.  Hjälpande Händer was born.

Hjälpande Händer (Helping Hands in Swedish) was setup as a non-profit charity based in Swindon run by volunteers.  It gives young adults with special needs the chance to get paid work operating a mobile catering trailer.  We involve the young adults in all aspects of the business and at the same time hope they will have fun and enjoy the atmosphere of the various events. 

We aim to be environmentally friendly, use local produce wherever possible and anything left will be taken to the night shelter to help the homeless. 

If you would you be interested in having Hjälpande Händer cater at your next outdoor event (fete, festival, sports event, company event, party or wedding), we'd be very interested.  We’d like to be flexible so if there is anything  particular you need or a theme you’d like, just ask!  And if you think you might like to help or get involved, please get in touch.  We're always looking for more volunteers.
