I’ve been a trainee at The Gatelodge Café since 2015. Over the years, I’ve grown in confidence, learned new skills, and become more independent.

I work in the kitchen, helping with food preparation and service, and I’ve achieved my NVQ Level 2 in Kitchen Services, which I’m really proud of. I also attend life skills classes to keep learning.

Stepping Stones NI has helped me keep growing and believing in myself.

With encouragement and support, I’ve learned that I can keep achieving new goals.

We Make More Possible.
