Silver Lining Internships - PUNKY DORY & GAMESMASTER
Gamesmaster Café is part of Silver Lining Internships; which was established to provide supported work experience for young adults who need help to achieve independence. We offer our interns real-life, paid employment and learning through work
It all began with 'Silver Lining Gifts' - our Model
Railway / Collectables and Gifts shop at 10 Silver Street - Ilminster,
Somerset TA190DJ; this was replaced by 'PUNKY DORY' - alternative clothing and accessories. This kind of exciting retail is most relevant to our interns and still the most effective start on their journey to independence.
We use our lounge/activity offices and other community
venues where we provide life skills and social support, We also work with various external
employers to support taster sessions and other kinds of paid work experience; to
target skills increase confidence and promote ambition.
In 2024 we moved both business to a new address at 39 Silver Street, TA19 0DW.
Our placements are funded via 'Access to Work', or we can be part of the provision for an EHCP (education, Health and Care Plan). For further information about our placement please see the website - www.silverlininginternships.co.uk
Gamesmaster Café provides a more challenging role for our interns: socially and in the skills needed, but this exciting board games venue brings its own incentives and social opportunities to link with the interests of our interns and encourage them to engage with our local community whilst they learn.
