A much-loved kiosk has re-opened in Swansea's Victoria Park and is making a difference to the lives of adults with learning disabilities and experiences of mental health issues.
Tucked away in Victoria Park, opposite the Guildhall in Swansea, the kiosk and small cafe is run by Swansea Council's Work Development Service in partnership with CREST (College of Recovery Education Skills & Training). Before it closed in 2020, amidst the lockdowns of the Covid pandemic, it supported more than 40 people to learn how to prepare and serve customers dishes such as its "famous" corned beef pie. Open between 9am and 3pm, Monday to Friday, dishes served also include jacket potatoes, salads, filled rolls and baguettes.
Joanne Hearne, 47, from Morriston said her experience training at the kiosk had helped her to gain confidence and learn how to prepare a variety of dishes. "It just put me on the right track," she added. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
