We are currently accepting referrals.

If you would like to keep up to date on the programme, including when we will be accepting referrals, please email foundation@fatmacys.org.

You may be suitable for the programme if you are:

  • Currently living in temporary accommodation

  • Not a priority for social housing

  • Have the right to work and rent in the UK

  • Over 18, or turning 18 in the next 6 months

You don't need any experience in catering and hospitality to take part.

Over the course of 200-hours, we train participants in catering and hospitality skills, help you obtain a Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate and provide 1:1 support around wellbeing, employment and sustaining a tenancy.

The next step

After your referral, we invite potential participants to a Sign-Up Session where you can learn more about the programme. You can meet the Fat Macy's team, have a 1:1 chat to talk about where you are at, and complete a free Level 2 Food Hygiene qualification.
