Each story we share is a powerful testament to the thousand words of resilience, hope, and determination that define the lives of our trainees.

ASHKAN

Ashkan fled Iran in 2013 and came to London in search of a better life. Since completing our training programme, he has been employed at TRAMPOLINE Angel - first as a Barista, and now as our Cafe Manager!

This film was made by Social Enterprise UK as part of their online series that focused on how social enterprises could align with the government's focus on economic growth.

YOGI

Yogi left behind his wife and daughter in Sri Lanka in 2009 to seek refuge in London. Upon being referred by The Hotel School, he worked at TRAMPOLINE Angel in February 2022 and developed his passion for food and cooking.

He now runs a Yogi’s Kitchen pop-up restaurant inside our TRAMPOLINE’s Angel site!

ULYANA

Ulyana is a trained puppeteer who unfortunately left Ukraine alone in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

We have recruited her as a Trainee Barista at our second TRAMPOLINE Cafe inside the Royal College of Nursing building in Central London.

We had a lovely chat with her recently so listen in & find out more about Ulyana.
