Our trainees have been busy making the most of the summer sunshine, caring for our flower gardens, picking beautiful blooms and creating gorgeous seasonal bouquets πŸ’

They’ve been developing valuable workplace skills along the way, from maintaining our gardens to preparing flowers and working together to create something special.

Some of the flowers grown and prepared by our trainees have even gone on to become beautiful wedding flowers for couples celebrating their special day at Little Gate. We’re so proud to see their hard work blossom into something that brings so much joy to our clients and wedding couples 🌟

We’re thrilled to celebrate Stephanie, who has begun her Customer Service Apprenticeship, marking the start of Little Gate working in partnership with Supplytrain (https://supplytrain.co.uk/) to offer a number of flexible apprenticeship opportunities.

From starting with our LEAPS programme, to volunteering and undertaking different work experience placements, Stephanie has learnt new skills and discovered her strengths on the Supported Apprenticeships programme.

Stephanie shared:

β€œI have been building my confidence and have now started an apprenticeship, working as a receptionist at Little Gate's new building, The Bridge. I have enjoyed meeting new people and I feel excited for the future.”

We’re so proud of her positivity, and the way she embraces every opportunity.
Here's to the start of an amazing apprenticeship journey!

We’re incredibly proud of our work trainee Chloe, who has been thriving in our Woodland Project. Today she completed this wonderful handcrafted birdhouse - a brilliant example of her creativity, and growing confidence with different tools.
Chloe has been developing so many valuable skills, from teamwork and communication to learning how to use a wide range of equipment safely and effectively. She’s pictured here with her fellow trainee Teo, who has been right beside her throughout the project, supporting and collaborating every step of the way.
It’s inspiring to see their hard work come to life in such a beautiful way.
Great job, Chloe - and well done to both of you for embracing the woodland challenge with enthusiasm and teamwork.

πŸŽ¨πŸ’™ A Huge Thank You to Brewers Decorator Centres, Hastings! πŸ’™πŸŽ¨

We're incredibly grateful to for their generous donation of paint and decorating supplies to support the refurbishment of The Bridge Community Centre.

Their kindness is helping us transform the space and get it ready to welcome our College students when the new term begins in September. Every tin of paint and decorating item donated makes a real difference and brings us one step closer to creating a warm, vibrant, and inspiring environment for the young people we support.

There's still plenty of work to do, but thanks to support from local businesses like Brewers, we're making fantastic progress. Our focus is on preparing the areas needed for our students first, and once the new term is underway, we'll continue working on the rest of the centre to bring our vision for The Bridge to life.

Thank you for helping us create a place where young people can learn, grow, and thrive. 🌟

At Little Gate Supported Employment, our Job Coaches do so much more than support people into work. They build confidence, encourage independence, celebrate achievements and help our work trainees believe in themselves.
Through patience, encouragement and person-centred support, they help adults with learning disabilities and autism develop new skills, overcome challenges and take meaningful steps towards a brighter future.
Every milestone, whether it's travelling independently, learning a new task or securing paid employment, starts with someone believing in your potential. We're incredibly proud of the life-changing impact our Job Coaches make every day.

The workshop team has been out and about again in Battle!

We stopped by 10 different workplaces to see what types of jobs would be available there, and which skills would be needed.

The trainees then linked this to CV writing, thinking of examples of how they have demonstrated those skills before in previous work and on the farm.

This was not only a good opportunity to see what different jobs are available in the local community, but also to see how their own skills are transferable to many different positions and workplaces.

🐾 A Walk Full of Learning, Confidence and Smiles πŸ¦™πŸ’š

At Little Gate, our Work Training Animal Project supports adults with learning disabilities, autism, or both, to develop valuable transferable skills that can help them move towards meaningful employment.

From learning about weights and measures to animal care, teamwork and communication, our trainees gain hands-on experience while building confidence and independence in a supportive environment.

With a welcome break in the hot weather, our animal team recently enjoyed taking alpacas Obi and Oliver out for a stroll. πŸ¦™πŸŒΏ

Not only is this fantastic socialisation for our alpacas, but it also provides a wonderful opportunity for our trainees to practise focus, patience, communication, and responsible animal handling. Leading and caring for such gentle animals requires trust, confidence, and teamwork, making it a valuable learning experience for everyone involved.

Judging by the smiles all round, our trainees, Obi and Oliver thoroughly enjoyed their walk together! ❀️

We're incredibly proud of the progress our trainees make every day, developing the skills, confidence and resilience that will support them on their journey towards employment and greater independence.

At Little Gate, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to work.

Yet only around 26% of adults with a learning disability known to their local authority are in paid employment, despite many more wanting to work.

Through our Supported Employment service, we work with both job seekers and employers to match people with the right opportunities, providing ongoing support to help them succeed and thrive in the workplace.
