Twelve years on from its humble beginnings, The Bread & Butter Project is still transforming lives through the power of baking. Australia’s first social enterprise bakery has now trained 120 refugee bakers, opening doors to security, confidence and community.
Among them is Hellen, a mother of five who arrived in Australia seeking safety and a new start. After graduating from the program, she found work in the in-store bakery at Harris Farm in inner west Sydney, and today she’s sharing how the project helped her build her new life.
