The Crumbs Centre

From our base in Bournemouth we offer specialist training provision for mixed-ability trainees. We offer pre-employment programmes of learning across sectors including catering & hospitality, administration, leisure and IT to improve skills, confidence, health and employability. Our trainees and interns learn essential skills in service delivery, interface with the public and administration, which ultimately equips them for employment after they move on from their time at Crumbs. This is achieved through a mix of practical training, mentor support and work experience.

Our trainees range in age from 18+ and come from a variety of backgrounds, including mental health problems and/or learning disabilities, acquired brain injury or stabilised addiction. All are offered the opportunity to learn and progress in a safe and supportive environment.

All referrals must have a Key Worker, Social Worker, Care Worker,  Carer/Parent/Sibling, Community Practice Nurse (CPN), an Occupational Therapist Worker or a Support Worker. Someone that helps to take care of them or supports them.
