Use your skills for good

As a social enterprise, we invest 100% of our profits back into the business. This helps us to support more refugees and asylum seekers by training them as bakers.

With all our heart and soul going into our bread, pastries and trainees, we are grateful for the volunteer support we receive in all the other areas necessary to run a successful business.

From packing and boxing, to marketing, public relations, social media, videography and even our Board, we’ve got some great people in our volunteer community – but we can always use more.

If you’re looking to volunteer, get in touch to see how you can help.
