Mahaba Café

19/06/2026

💛 As Learning Disability Week comes to a close, we’re reflecting on just how far Mahaba has come.

What started as a small pilot project three years ago has grown into a programme that has supported 47 young people, delivered 4,000+ hours of training, and helped 60% of graduates seeking employment move into meaningful roles.

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Mahaba is about creating opportunities, building confidence, amplifying young voices, and showing what becomes possible when people are seen for their potential.

It’s also about community — creating a place where inclusion is part of everyday life, not the exception.

To our learners: thank you for inspiring us every day. 💛

And to everyone who has supported our journey — our funders, partners, employers, customers and community — thank you for believing in a more inclusive future.

A special thank you to , Margaret Dobson Further Education Trust, .housing, Compas Group Foundation, , SYP Trust, SJP Foundation, , the RTR Foundation, and for helping make these opportunities possible.

✨ Seeing potential.
✨ Seeing talent.
✨ Seeing people.

💛 This Learning Disability Week, we’re celebrating the opportunities that help our learners grow, gain confidence, and thrive in their communities.

Meet Rathi ✨

Every week, Rathi runs our Healthy Trolley at Ealing Council, serving snacks, drinks and plenty of smiles along the way.

But this project is about much more than food and drinks.

It’s about building more confidence, developing workplace skills, and making inclusion visible in the places where decisions are made.

We’re incredibly proud of everything Rathi has achieved and grateful to our partners at Ealing Council for helping create opportunities that turn potential into action.

A special thank you to Peter Mason, Chrissy Leonard, Charlene McLeod and Ellen Bloomer for their support, and to Kate, whose dedication behind the scenes helps make this project possible every single week 💛

🎥 Our recent Young Advisory Board session was such a joy! 💛

Our learners may spend a lot of time cooking in the kitchen, but they’re also busy cooking up ideas, sharing perspectives, and helping shape the future of Mahaba.

Every time we come together, we’re reminded just how valuable their insights are. Their unique experiences challenge us to think differently, see things from new angles, and build a more inclusive community for everyone.

We can’t wait to share some of the amazing ideas and outcomes from this latest session over the coming months ✨

And speaking of exciting things… tonight is our Comedy Night! 🎭

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone for an evening of laughter, community, and support. Our learners have been part of making it all happen and can’t wait to see you there!

Have you noticed our new little shelf yet? 💛

At Mahaba, we believe our café should be a place for everyone — and now, you can help us spread a little extra kindness through our new Pay It Forward scheme ☕

Here’s how it works:

✨ Purchase an extra coffee or snack with your order
✨ We’ll write it on a Gift Tag and hang it on the shelf
✨ Anyone in need of a little support can take a tag and redeem it at the counter

A small gesture can make a really big difference.

Because kindness is always on our menu 💛

Help us share the Mahaba love and support members of our community who may need it most.
