Last week, we said a fond farewell to one of our longest-serving trainees, William Biles. William joined The CRUMBS Project eight years ago, eager to get involved in everything we had to offer while navigating a range of barriers to independence.
With support, William has pushed himself beyond his comfort zone, becoming more confident in overcoming some of the sensory challenges that came with working in a busy kitchen environment, surrounded by different foods, smells and textures.
Throughout his time with us, William has brought a real enthusiasm; his extensive knowledge and understanding of both our working environment and the wider world have led to many wonderful conversations over the years. His curiosity and unique perspective have made him a valued member of our team.
During his programme, William achieved a range of accredited qualifications across our Food Preparation & Service and Digital Skills pathways, including his Level 2 Food Safety Certificate. More importantly, he embraced every opportunity to develop new skills, build relationships, and challenge himself, demonstrating determination and resilience throughout his journey.
William has been a much-loved member of the CRUMBS family, and while we will miss seeing him each week, we are incredibly proud of his personal growth. We wish him every happiness in this exciting next chapter. Thank you, William, for eight wonderful years - you will always be part of the CRUMBS story đź’™
