A Sheffield social enterprise that runs a restaurant providing hospitality training for vulnerable adults has announced it will close as it can no longer sustain itself.
Not-for-profit Blend Kitchen started life in 2016 to give employment and work experience opportunities to anyone affected by disabilities, substance misuse and other conditions excluding them from the workplace. Its staff include homeless people and asylum seekers. The restaurant began in premises in the city centre, but redevelopment forced Blend Kitchen to relocate to a cafe and new events space at Ward’s Exchange on Ecclesall Road in 2021.
Office workers did not return to the area surrounding the café, and the utilities at the site severely increased in cost. Additionally, the area did not develop as expected, leaving the business surrounded by empty units. 'In response to these difficulties, the trustees chose to focus on growing the private catering side of the business. They also downsized the workforce and relied more on volunteers to decrease staff costs, as well as seeking pro-bono services where possible.
