Over on Twitter, SmilesSen shared a news story with us about disabled people running a coffee shop in America, and they want to know if there's anything similar in the UK.
Have you been to a coffee shop which employs, or is run by, disabled people?

There are a number of cafe around the country. They tend to be run by charities and run as part of their delivery program in helping clients get to work.
One I am aware off is called Yellow Submarine.
Closer to home, where the Scope main office is, is Flapjacks Cafe in Kentish Town. Flapjacks also does catering, which I would happily recommend.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
Cafe Frobisher adjacent to Normanton Library, West Yorks, serves lovely snacks and full meals and is staffed by adults with learning disabilities.
-

It is a bit different what LiamO Dell is asking but I want to introduce a cafe called "Paper and Cup" in Shoreditch in London which are run by a charity organisation. The organisation helps people who are recovering from addiction. They also run furniture restoration workshop and train people there. Wonderful!
