Story
Team Domenica equips people with learning disabilities and autism – their candidates – with the skills, confidence and independence they need to gain meaningful employment and thrive.
What they do works. Candidates undertake a two-year employment programme that combines classroom education, enrichment activities, and real-world training in their cafés and pub. Team Domenica also partners with local businesses to provide accessible work experience placements, internships, and job opportunities.
The results speak for themselves:
Less than 5% of adults with learning disabilities are in paid work in England (DHSC, 2025)
76% of Team Domenica candidates find work through our Supported Internship Programme (Our Impact, 2025).
82% of our young people remain in employment for two years or more (Our Impact, 2025).
Team Domenica’s impact goes far beyond numbers; they are transforming lives, bringing hope and joy to candidates, their families, and the wider community.
"This place has changed my life... it's given me hope. I feel ready for the future and like I can do anything!" – Candidate Laoisha
