The able2achieve Trust is a registered charity (No. 1148173) dedicated to providing opportunities, support, and real work placements for people with learning disabilities or difficulties. We empower our learners to develop essential life skills, self-confidence, and independence through structured environments, social enterprises, and community engagement. Mindful of the able2achieve company goal, the able2achieve Trust was established to further our aspirations and support our learners with even more opportunities to learn, socialise, and engage with real work placements. We provide structured environments for people with learning disabilities or difficulties, enabling learning, work placements, and supportive social enterprises. This includes sporting activities, youth and social clubs, and supporting individuals in enterprise pursuits. The able2achieve Trust supports a range of social enterprises, each providing unique opportunities for our learners to gain real-world experience, develop skills, and build confidence in supportive environments. These work placements and social enterprises provide invaluable experience for our learners.

Story

The Trust is expanding its' reaches to Ottery ST Mary where it will be opening a new Learning & Working Development Centre.

able2achieve Trust aim to support adults with learning disabilities and other associated illnesses in being a part of a work place environment learning real working skills in a practical environment.  

We currently have projects within the trust, a coffee shop called The Winking Frog and an antiques & collectables shop called able2antiquities. 

The Winking Frog works as a fully functional Coffee Shop, with able2achieve Trust employed staff supporting our learners to serve customers, take orders, prepare food, make a variety of different hot drinks along with many other tasks that are involved in the industry. 

Able2antiquities works very much like a charity shop with a slight difference to being antiquities & collectables specific, with able2achieve Trust employed staff supporting or learners to purchase stock, maintain the stock within the shop, ensure that everything is displayed correctly along with serving customers.

Our new project in Ottery ST Mary will have a combination of this, with having both a coffee shop and antiques shop in to one. We are looking at calling this project “The Silver Otter”.
