Experience afternoon tea with a difference at The Waldorf Hilton – 2nd July
Hilton want to share details of an afternoon tea taking place at The Waldorf Hilton, London, on 2nd July, which is entirely prepared and served by people with learning disabilities. The Waldorf Hilton is hosting a pop-up tearoom to draw attention to highlight the importance of workplace representation, which is supported by Hilton research that revealed three quarters of people with a learning disability would be more confident applying for jobs if they saw similar people in customer facing roles.

- 12:00 noon
- 2:30 pm
- 5:00 pm
