Sammy's Story

This is Sammy and he is 22

He is taking part in our Vendor Development Programme with a law firm in central London, where the vendor goes into the workplace and sells the magazine one day a week. This is also a chance for Sammy to work with a mentor at the law firm who will guide him through training as part of the project.

This has been a very positive thing for Sammy. He goes every week ‘in his suit’ which has built up his confidence and has helped him build up links and relationships with people he would not normally meet.

‘Go say Hi’ to Sammy – he is a Vendor in Covent Garden.
