Ambassadors trip to the Office!

Autism training for Romford store

The Sycamore Trust UK autism ambassadors have been out and about in the community helping local businesses to understand autism and this week it was the turn of the Office shoe store in Romford.

Autism ambassadors Robert & Alex were invited to deliver a presentation to four members of staff at the Office store in Romford before opening on Monday 14th May. 

The Romford branch of Office is in the Liberty Shopping Centre and has a number of regular customers with autism.  Assistant manager Jodie Routh explained “When we were offered a visit from the ambassadors we jumped at the chance.  It was really insightful and informative – we now have much more of an idea of how to help customers with autism.”

Robert and Alex spent an hour with the Office staff, demonstrating how autism can affect people and how best to make the environment a friendly one for customers on the spectrum.
