Thomas’ Fair Shot Journey
Thomas left us in awe of his extraordinary progress during his time in our Supported Internship Programme. He swiftly mastered the art of being a barista early in the course, demonstrating remarkable skills in crafting perfect cups of coffee.
Channelling his dedication into perfecting his latte art, he prepared himself to step into the role of a true “coffee professor” – as Thomas likes to refer to himself as.
“My favourite thing about Fair Shot is the way it’s changed my autism pretty much. I’m communicating more, using eye contact with customers and smiling.”
Although developing communication skills presented a unique challenge for Thomas, he's come a long way.
Thomas has gone on to work as a barista with private catering company, Savore, nestled within a prestigious office located in the Strand, proving that with determination and the correct supportive environment, we all are able to flourish.
