Launchpad is a day service for adults with learning disabilities, based at the Methodist Church Hall in Budleigh Salterton. But in reality, it is far more than a service. It is a pathway into confidence, community, and meaningful employment.
From our community cafe to professional catering and locally made ready meals, food is at the heart of what we do. Every visit, order, and event helps create real training opportunities for adults with learning disabilities.
A welcoming cafe and community space with regular activities, run with trainees at the heart of what we do.
Real commercial catering that gives trainees hands-on experience, from prep and cooking to service and teamwork.
Locally made ready meals you can order online, with every purchase supporting training and community programmes.
Behind every meal and every service is a structured support programme focused on building skills, confidence, and independence. We provide practical training and community support that helps people move towards work and a more independent future.
Supported, practical training that builds real workplace skills and prepares people for employment.
Local support including our community larder and practical help for people who need it most.
Donate, volunteer, or partner with us to help more people access training, support, and opportunity.
Every morning at Launchpad begins with the same familiar rhythm: the clatter of pans in the kitchen, the smell of fresh-baked scones drifting through the café, and the quiet determination of trainees arriving ready to learn, contribute, and belong. For many of them, this is the first place where they feel genuinely seen—not for what they can’t do, but for everything they can become.
