Just 6% of adults with learning disabilities are in paid employment. We're on a mission to change that.
At Interestingly Different, every product is designed or made in-house by the adults we work with. We create bold, feel-good products with an even bigger purpose.
Working alongside Nickel Support, we provide skills training and employment opportunities for over 140 adults with learning disabilities across South London.
From designing and making our products to packing your orders, our trainees are at the heart of everything we do.
Great products. Real skills. More paid employment. Every purchase makes a difference.

Our impact
From our colourful, hand-printed mugs and eco soy wax candles to our unique upcycled furniture, every product creates opportunities.
When you shop with us, you're not just buying beautiful, design-led gifts and homeware – you're helping us create more training and paid employment opportunities for adults with learning disabilities.
Our mission? To get more adults with learning disabilities into paid employment. And every purchase brings us one step closer.
Shop differently. Make your purchase count.
