"Using store space to support local learning groups" corporate responsibility case study

Case study about how Sainsbury's "Salford store is working in partnership with Salford City Council and the Education Authority to support a local learning development group by turning its old smoking room into a classroom. The development group uses the store as a training centre five days a week, giving people with learning disabilities experience and support in a working environment. The scheme, which is supported by three teachers and currently has ten students using the facility, is run with a view to employing some of them in the store."
