The SAMEE charity, Bournemouth

Chloe*is 20 years and partially sighted with only 5% vision. Despite her profound sensory challenges Amy does not have an EHCP (Education, Health & Care Plan) and finished secondary education with no qualifications.

Chloe loves to bake cakes to an extremely high standard and she was one of the first young people to enroll onto our Getting Ready for Tomorrow programme in August 2025. She has already established thriving rapport with her SAMEE mentor Dan, who has a wealth of business knowledge and an interest in cooking and baking.

With ideas shared with her mentor and other participant Learners on the Getting Ready for Tomorrow programme, Chloe has already created the perfect name for her baking business – Bakes from the Heart, and recently promoted the early stages of her business idea at a large public showcase event in Poole, Dorset.
