Happy Summer from PiP

With lock down easing, Fruitful is gearing up to get back into the community and back to what it does best - serving delicious juices!

We're thrilled to announce that our first stall post-lockdown will be on Thursday 20th August, from 12-2pm in the beautiful Merchant Square in Paddington. We're thrilled to be partnering with Press Juices, who will be providing us with juices until we are able to get safely back into our kitchen.

During lockdown we've been been busy running weekly Fruitful sessions over Zoom to continue our student's training and working with our trainees to develop student-designed merchandise! We can't wait to show your what we've designed at our upcoming stall.

We have also continued to provide employment support to our students, running weekly groups to get our students ready for the world of work. During this time we have worked with a number of our partners such as Adobe, Bowmark, St James Place and Zendesk to practice interview skills so students will be prepared when lockdown ends.

At the beginning of July we started visiting our students out and about in the community. I have had the pleasure of going for weekly walks with students and catching up about all things Fruitful! It's been wonderful to get back to face-to-face support and can't wait to get back into our W9 centre.

To stay in touch with all things Fruitful, check out our social media or watch some of our delicious recipe videos on the PiPTV Youtube channel.

If you would like to have Fruitful visit your office or event, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch - cheskig@piponline.org.uk
