Minister makes cafe visit
Social Security Minister, Jeane Freeman MSP, paid a visit to Motherwell-based social enterprise Windmills Café.
The vision for Windmills began in 2006 when pupils from Firpark School formed a committee to help young people with learning disabilities gain equal access to work experience opportunities.
The café currently has three young people on a formal Modern Apprenticeships, as well as eighteen trainees who are all gaining vital life-skills such as food and drink preparation, table service and social skills.
