Trail partner Fair Shot Café is a social enterprise eatery that focuses on delicious food, speciality coffee and addressing the 93% unemployment rate among young adults with learning difficulties.

The Mayfair haunt operates as a busy Central London café everyday of the week, using Trail predominantly to stay on top of opening checks and compliance. Alongside their foodie and coffee offering, they also run a unique programme for trainees seeking permanent employment.

Trainees experience on-the-job training as well as support in finding apprenticeships and paid employment opportunities with the Café’s network of employers.

Last week - their first cohort of trainees graduated from the programme! Here’s what Fair Shot Café’s founder and CEO, Bianca Tavella, had to say about the news:

“Our 12 trainees have officially proven that with the right training and support anyone can flourish into resilient, hardworking employees while achieving their true potential. They just needed to be given... a Fair Shot!”

A huge congratulations to all the graduates and team. You can find out more about the programme and how to support Fair Shot Café via Instagram.
