“It’s really nice to help refugees. I remember one day two refugees from Ukraine came in. It was a mum and her daughter. They couldn’t speak English but they saw the banner and flag we had made in the window. They cried and hugged Mrs Barnes. All the adults were crying. It felt good to help.”

"Apprenticeshop for our students has just been incredible. We have a waiting list of students wanting to work there every term. Rachel welcomes us each week and the students look forward to the new items we can price and put out for sale. Coming to work here is the highlight of my week!

Sara - Teacher Manor Green

“I love working in the shop because it teaches you life skills like how to work on a till, how to serve people and how to set up the shop. It teaches you resilience because if you are shy like me, you have to speak to people if they ask you a question. The other day someone ask me the price of something and I didn’t know but I used my judgement and was confident.”

“Working in the Apprenticeshop will help me with my CV as I can show all the skills that I have learnt. I think this will help me find a job somewhere else.”
