People First Services delivers a range of services and projects all designed to empower young people with learning difficulties and/or autism aged 16-24 across Cumbria. It helps them to live their ‘best life’ and reach their full potential via education, information and support services. 

In 2020 People First was nominated for a National Diversity Award for Best Community Organisation for the Hospitality Academy Internship Programme.

Our donation is directed towards The Hospitality Academy by People First Services, which runs a community hub/conference centre in Carlisle. The academy trains and employs young people with learning difficulties and/or autism in hospitality and event management.
