Unlocking Potential – Level Best Enterprises

Colchester-based charity Level Best Enterprises delivers meaningful life and work experience for young adults with learning disabilities (Trainees) in its café, art gallery, gardening and kitchen enterprises.

Through our partnership, supporting Trainee placements over five years, the League of Remembrance helps open doors to practical skills, new friendships, and growing independence.

Overcoming Barriers

Many young people with a learning disability are socially isolated and face obstacles that make work and community involvement daunting. Level Best provides:

• Meaningful work experience in the purpose-built café, kitchens, produce and art space, and outdoor locations
• Safe, supported and accessible spaces for hands-on job training
• Support for building workplace confidence
• Social activities

Making a Difference

With the League’s direct support, Level Best funded participants:

• Learn catering, customer service, and teamwork
• Practice skills in a real, supportive environment
• Build their sense of purpose and belonging

Your donations help fund training placements that prepare young adults for future employment.

Stories That Inspire

• Our partnership has supported 20 tailored training placements, each designed to unlock potential.
• One Trainee refined their CV, overcame interview anxiety, and found their first role as a laboratory assistant, leading to a full-time senior role in the lab.
• Nicola lacked confidence in public settings and now greets visitors with self-assurance and professionalism in the Level Best café – her transformation is a testament to the power of encouragement.
• James took the brave step to take public transport on his own for the first time to his Trainee placement, has grown in confidence and made new friends. He has since started volunteering for a community event in his home town.

These achievements show how small opportunities can become turning points for young lives.

The Value of Dignity and Inclusion

Level Best delivers much more than training:

• Every interaction marks real progress
• Each exhibition or community event fosters self-worth and connection
• Dignity and inclusion are woven into every activity

This work is a direct reflection of the League’s aims:

• To rebuild lives with dignity
• To create meaningful opportunities, not just charity
• To help people thrive by helping others
