A Social Enterprise using baking and coffee as tools to give women who experience disadvantage, opportunities towards employment
The Wren Bakery works with women in Leeds who face multiple barriers everyday. Experiences such as poverty, gender based violence, criminal records and poor mental health prevent them from participating in the benefits that well-being and employment can bring.
We exist to reach these women, and other hidden groups in our city for whom the challenges they face have a devastating impact on their lives and their ability to work.
The Wren Bakery believes in second chances and sees the potential in every one of these women.
We aim to empower and equip them to hope for a future, and give them the tools to obtain it.
A message from our Ambassador, Kim-Joy
“Wren Bakery is everything I am passionate about combining baking and barista training to reach out to and empower women who face multiple barriers daily. The skills used in baking and barista work are so transferable to a lot of jobs, plus giving the women a sense of purpose and value along the way.
I’m so happy that this opportunity now exists for women in Leeds, and I’m so proud to be an Ambassador for Wren Bakery.”
We wouldn’t be able to provide opportunities to our trainees without your generosity.
