Apollos Trust Community Café. This idea was formed from the discussion with people about Young people being socially isolated and needing support to gain skills for employment or further education. A café is a great place for people to socialise, and as such, we want it to benefit the local community as well as the Young People. We will be inviting local residents and local groups (like AGE UK) to attend. The Young People will benefit from skills in catering, food hygiene, and customer service and be able to put it all on a CV as well as adding volunteering to their list of accomplishments. For this Café, it will be the first and a trial.
If successful we hope to do it each school holiday in the next academic year. We will be working with Young People from The Marsh Academy who live in the Cheriton and Folkestone areas.
