Springboard Programme: Galvin’s Chance programme
Region: London
Year: 2022
“Before I joined the Springboard programme, I was receiving help from another charity who specialises in helping people with learning difficulties. It was not easy for me to find work as I have cerebral palsy and no work experience.
I was then made aware of Springboard and had an interest in exploring jobs in hospitality, so I signed up for Springboard’s Galvin’s Chance programme.
I really enjoyed the programme, learning about hospitality and going on visits to amazing hotels and restaurants. At the end of the programme I did a work experience which I really liked and then Springboard began helping me to find work.
In September of this year, with the help of Springboard, I secured my first ever paid job, working in the Cavalry and Guards Club as a Linen Porter.”
Toby has now secured a role at Compass Group in HSBC as a Catering Assistant!
