Who are we
When we opened we could never have imagined what a difference it would make. Pinnies was the brainchild of three Huntingdon Mencap staff who had a dream to open a tea room where all were welcome and now that dream is a reality. From the very beginning our tea shop became the most requested place for our service users to visit and its popularity continues to this day – and not just because of the yummy cake!
Pinnies is unique
Many of the people that we offer work experience to avoid social interaction and have limited confidence and skills. Seeing these people gradually improve their skills, sociability and confidence is the best accolade that can be given.
Many of these people have chosen to further their careers within the catering sector, either by attending college or searching for paid employment.
