How It Works
The Bramber Bakehouse programme sees up to 10 women join us for 8 weekly sessions. From the first day to graduation, they learn fundamental baking skills and take part in sessions that support and empower them to achieve their aspirations. Every year we welcome up to 30 women. Each programme includes 3 key components…
01/
Baking Skills
Every week we teach baking skills, including an opportunity to complete a Food Hygiene qualification.
02/
Aspirational Sessions
We offer a space to empower women, equipping them with skills for the future, whatever they want to achieve.
03/
Ongoing Support
We celebrate every woman’s success and provide support to help them onto the next stage of their journey.
We Need Your Help
We recently moved to a larger kitchen space so we’re able to welcome 30 women each year. We passionately believe every woman should have access to free services and support which enable her to achieve her full potential.
It costs £730 for one woman to receive the support and empowerment she needs to move forward. Would you consider standing with us financially?
