Sea Change Opens Second Café in Sunderland Museum

A new cafe, Terra Cafe, is set to open in Stokes Croft on May 6, featuring locally made ceramics alongside coffee and pastries, while offering pottery experiences for visitors of all ages. In Ferndale, Michigan, the Rising Stars Academy Foundation has launched Gather + Grounds, a coffee shop that provides job skills to young adults with intellectual disabilities, allowing them to gain valuable work experience in a supportive environment. Meanwhile, Sea Change Community Interest Company has opened a second cafe at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens, focusing on empowering neurodiverse adults through job training and inclusive employment opportunities. This expansion aims to create more jobs and support for the neurodiverse community, building on the success of its original location. The cafes are not only places for food and beverages but also serve as platforms for social impact and community engagement. Each initiative highlights the importance of inclusivity and skills development in the workforce.
