The Place To Bee, a delightful café and sweetshop on Harborough Road, has been buzzing with excitement! This charming spot, linked with Northgate School Academy Trust and The Beehive, is more than just a café—it’s a nurturing ground for young adults with special needs. Under the warm guidance of Trudi Daurie, students gain invaluable work experience, helping them thrive in the professional world.
Recently, The Place To Bee received a nomination for the ‘Community Organisation for Disability Award’ at the National Diversity Awards. Trudi describes this recognition as both “wonderful” and “heartwarming.” The community has rallied behind them, flooding their online voting page with heartfelt comments about the café’s positive impact.
Visitors praise the café’s “jolly and friendly” atmosphere, where everyone feels welcome, especially on days when a friendly chat is needed. Trudi proudly shares stories of transformation, like that of a young man who found his voice and confidence through his time at the café.
The Place To Bee is not just a café; it’s a community hub that empowers young people, preparing them for future jobs and volunteering opportunities. Trudi and her team dream of winning the award, which would be “the icing on the cake” for their dedication and hard work.
