Look at what our Skills for Independence team have achieved!
Over the past three weeks, our Skills for Independence team have been working hard in the Kenny G’s diner at One Vision Studios and their progress has been fantastic to see.
Their confidence, communication, teamwork and independence are really starting to shine. They work together, support each other and are becoming increasingly confident in taking responsibility for their own jobs.
Ella has been independently washing dishes and loading the dishwasher, and even showed fantastic initiative by putting out a wet floor sign when she noticed the floor was wet.
Jake has been drying and putting dishes away, while also putting his maths skills into practice by working out change from £10. He then created a shopping list to help restock the tuck shop.
The team also help prepare breakfast, warm up dinners and use the food probe to check that meals have reached the correct temperature.
Emily and Stuart have been fantastic too, regularly getting stuck in and completing jobs without being asked.
These are so much more than kitchen tasks. They are developing real-life skills, building confidence, learning to communicate, taking responsibility and becoming more independent.
The Skills for Independence sessions are definitely making a difference, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far everyone is progressing.
Well done, everyone. You are an amazing team. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
