La Salle Hotel School is a soon-to-be world-class hospitality training centre based in Croxteth, Liverpool. Focused on employability, confidence, and real-world skills, the school exists to give young people – particularly those from long-term unemployed households – a genuine pathway into the hospitality industry.
The La Salle brothers generously donated their former residence with one mission in mind: to turn it into a space that opens doors. Their vision struck a chord with us — hospitality has always been at the heart of our team’s background, and we’ve seen first-hand how the right support can transform a life and a community.
Dave Mansbridge now serves as a director of the school, actively supporting its development and long-term vision.
