70% of skilled refugees are unemployed in the UK, despite actively searching for work. Breadwinners run artisan bread market stalls across UK farmer's markets and provide refugees with their first job in the UK. This enables them to take an active part in their new local community.

Situation
70% of refugees are unemployed in the UK. Asylum support from the UK government is £40.85 per person a week. Having fled their own country because of war, persecution and violence, despite being highly skilled, they often lack the networks, connections, UK experience and qualifications to begin employment. What they do have is hope, aspirations and a massive will to succeed. They simply need the opportunity.
Solution
We provide employment to refugees who are struggling to find work and volunteering work experience to young people seeking asylum which are not yet allowed to work. We also support them with, training, mentoring, networks and entrepreneurship opportunities to make their first steps into their lives in UK.
