I used the coffee van to train 10 young people with severe and specific learning disabilities including Autism, Hearing impairment, Downs Syndrome and ADHD at a special needs school in Reading, Berkshire. Not only did these students gain valuable work experience and skills, 7 of them also gained ASDAN accredited certification. This will enable them to show prospective employers the skills that they have learnt and show them as potential assets to their businesses. My students sell drinks and snacks to students and to employees of their school. This has helped the pupils who are customers to gain skills in independence and communication. It has also helped to boost morale for the school staff on the two days that I train the students. Many members of staff state how they look forward to the coffee van coming to school and many also treat their colleagues! In addition, I have been invited to attend events at other schools and local villages to provide treats for staff, students and members of the public which has helped me to raise money to help keep the van running. Doing these events also aids in raising the profile not only of what I am doing to train students, but also to showcase the skills my students have learnt and are capable of applying. Events of special importance have been ones set up by Reading Mencap and by Parallel Windsor for the disabled community.
The main stakeholders are the students, teachers and parents at the school that I currently teach at. I consult the teachers and parents prior to a student starting their work experience with me so that I know what I need to teach the students and also what their learning styles and capabilities are. I do this by sending Google Forms to them so that I have a permanent record that I can refer back to when required. I provide regular written, verbal and photographic evidence to them of how their students are learning and performing. These regular consulations enable me to tailor the work experience to each student and allow for teachers at the school to mirror things that they are learning on the coffee van, such as continuing their money skills. The skills that the young people are learning on the van help them to meet targets that have been set by their teachers and their parent/carers on their Education, Health, Care Plans (EHCP). Furthermore I request feedback from event organisers of the service that we have provided by email or verbally and we are regularly invited back to events the later on or in the next year.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £12,767. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
