💼 What’s Your Dream Job?

We asked our trainees and staff what their dream job would be, and the answers were certainly varied! From secret agents and cinema managers to chefs, actors, dancers and DJs, everyone has their own ambitions. 👀

Supporting trainees into employment is one of our key purposes at Nickel Support. Through our training sessions, we help develop the practical, social and workplace skills needed to move towards paid employment.

Our trainees also get valuable hands-on experience through , where they can experience working in a coffee shop, and , where they can develop customer service, retail and shop-floor skills.
It’s all about building skills, confidence and real-world experience to help our trainees work towards their own employment goals. 🖤💛

So, what would your dream job be? 👇

🍰 Learning, cooking and creating in our kitchen sessions!

Throughout the week, our trainees have the opportunity to learn new recipes, practise dishes they’ve made before and build the confidence to cook independently at home.

The sessions also help develop important kitchen safety and food hygiene skills, while giving trainees hands-on experience creating products for our food enterprise, including handmade jams, chutneys and teabags. 🍓

And of course, there’s always time for baking! Our trainees make a range of cakes to be enjoyed at our café each week at Beans and Bloom. 🧁

Take a look at what our trainees have been getting up to in the kitchen! 🖤💛

💛 What Are You Proud Of?

We asked our trainees and staff what they’re most proud of, and the answers show just how much can change when you’re given the right opportunities and support.

From learning new skills and taking on more responsibility to growing our spaces, being part of the Interestingly Different team and becoming more confident, there’s so much to celebrate. 🖤💛

For some, it’s about the big achievements. For others, it’s the everyday things they can now do that they couldn’t before.
Every achievement matters, and every step forward is something to be proud of.

What are you proud of? 👇

🎬 Three Words to Describe Us!

We asked our Nickel Support staff and trainees to describe themselves in just three words… but there’s a twist! 👀
Each person also gets described by someone else, and let’s just say, there are some lovely, funny and unexpected answers! 💛

From fun, cheeky and energetic to caring, helpful and resilient, everyone has their own personality that makes them who they are.

But do their own three words match what everyone else thinks? Watch to find out! 🖤💛

A few more moments from The Nickel’s! 🤠🎉

Our Cheam branch came together for a fantastic evening of celebrating, laughter and plenty of fun, bringing trainees, parents, carers and staff together to enjoy the night.

From proudly receiving award certificates to enjoying pizza, homemade cakes and biscuits, catching up with friends and family and getting up on the dance floor for the Nickel’s Dance, there were plenty of moments to smile about.

These photos capture some of the people, laughter and memories that made the evening so special.
A brilliant night with an amazing Nickel’s community. 🖤💛
