SUPPORTIVE EMPLOYMENT

Delicious biscuits are only half the story of our new venture...

We’ve launched a new social enterprise creating supportive job roles within our bakery for those who have experienced homelessness.

A key step towards restoration and independence for our residents is moving into supportive employment. With this in mind, we have just launched a new joint venture with our friends at Grace Enterprises to create supportive job roles employing people who have experienced homelessness.

Finding somewhere to live is not the end of the story, anyone who has spent time sleeping on the streets will face complex barriers when seeking longterm employment. By providing sufficient hours and the Real Living Wage, we empower our team members to leave supported accommodation and start a new chapter in their lives, whilst making delicious biscuits that make a difference.

We plan to create a model that allows our Partners across the UK to offer supportive employment to their residents as part of the Half the Story team - paying them a living wage and equipping them with employment experience that helps them move to independence.
