STep-In our community Cafe is open to people with Learning disabilities.



The ‘STep-In Café’ focuses on creating work opportunities for people with learning disabilities inspired by the Valuing People Now – Employment principle of ‘’Supported Employment’.

 The project is supported by Steppingstone Independent Living Ltd who provide Care and Support to people with Learning Disabilities in and around Bucks.

At STep-In Café we work with our clients to develop a pathway that will enable them to have more access to the world of work. Part of our objective is to encourage people with a Learning Disability to work in a creative, stimulating and social environment and at the same time create a place where they are valued, appreciated and included.

The Café aims to achieve its individual and community objectives by involving our own staff, volunteers and students.

The STep-In Café gives people the opportunity to gain working skills and, most importantly, interact with other people in a typical day-to-day situation. We will also provide IT classes and various group activities.

A referral is needed to access the Service. You can ask your Care Manager or Reviewing Officer for a referral. After a referral is received we contact you to arrange a ‘taster day’ to see if the café is suitable. A six week trial will then follow when we offer you a placement.

If you have a learning disability or you are a relative or carer and would like more information about working in the café please contact us for more information on 01494 459873.
