Autistic volunteer let go from Waitrose job after family asked for him to be paid

The mother of an autistic man who volunteered at Waitrose stacking shelves has spoken out since he was let go from his position.

Frances Boyd said her son Tom, 28, had been volunteering twice a week for over four years at the retailer in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, as it gave him “a sense of purpose and belonging”.
