Our Opportunities Without Limits Cambridgeshire customer Richard lives near his local café but had never been in.

During the lockdown period, one of our Activities Facilitators began going to the café with Richard as part of their regular one-to-one.  It soon became apparent that Richard couldn’t read the menu as he would always just say he would have whatever his Activities Facilitator was having.
In recent months, we have been working with the café to produce picture menus to support Richard, as well as working with the café staff who are now able to identify Richard and take his order whilst the picture menus are in production.

This small change will enable Richard to access the café independently, and he now feels confident enough to go by himself and not just when he is having his one-to-one meetings.

We will keep you updated with this story and progress on the new picture menus at the local café in Sawston.
