What we do
We aim to deliver inclusive, small-group activities that help people to:
Develop essential digital skills for everyday life and work
Build practical food and cake decorating skills, including hands-on decorating techniques
Increase confidence, well-being, and independence
Take positive steps towards volunteering, training or employment
Our approach is friendly, practical and designed for people with little or no prior experience.


Our Services
Employability & Life Skills
Alongside food and digital learning, we aim to support participants to develop wider skills for everyday life and work, including:
Communication and confidence
Understanding workplace expectations
Preparing for volunteering, training or employment
Building routines and independence
Where appropriate, we will work with partners to support progression into further opportunities.


Digital Skills
We are developing and piloting community-based digital skills courses designed to support people who are digitally excluded. Our digital skills activities will include:
Setting up and using email
Using smartphones, tablets and laptops
Completing online forms and accessing services
Online job search and applications
Creating CVs and basic digital documents
Staying safe and confident online
Learning is delivered in small groups, with step-by-step guidance and plenty of practical support.
Community Food & Cake Decorating
We plan to deliver practical, hands-on food and cake decorating activities that help participants build confidence, creativity and transferable skills in a relaxed environment.
Sessions will focus on accessible decorating techniques, food presentation and creative expression, rather than full cooking or kitchen-based activity. This makes our programmes suitable for delivery in community venues without specialist kitchen facilities.
Activities are designed to be:
Beginner-friendly
Confidence-building
Enjoyable and social
Accessible for people with little or no prior experience
Through cake decorating, participants will develop patience, focus, fine motor skills and pride in their work, while enjoying a positive shared learning experience.
How We Deliver
Our programmes are designed to be:
Practical – focused on real-life skills
Supportive – small groups and friendly delivery
Accessible – no prior experience required
Community-based – delivered in trusted local settings
All programmes are non-accredited and aligned with Essential Digital Skills, allowing us to meet learners at their own pace.
Who Our Work Is For
Our activities are suitable for adults and young people who may:
Have low confidence or limited digital skills
Be returning to learning after a long break
Be unemployed or under-employed
Feel more comfortable learning in informal, community spaces
