Last week’s training sessions the women baked these incredible blueberry pain suisses and trust us, the photos don’t do them justice!

Here at Wren, we use baking as a powerful tool to support women who have experienced disadvantage on their journey towards, employment and independence.

Every journey through Wren begins in the kitchen, where the women develop practical skills, confidence and self-belief in a safe and supportive environment. Baking helps build resilience, creates a sense of achievement and gives the women something to be truly proud of and eager to show off!

Barista training continued today for our trainees ☕

It’s a brilliant transferable skill to learn one that helps build confidence and equips the women for their upcoming work experience with us in the café.

We’re really starting to see our trainees step out of their comfort zones and take risks on their training days. Learning a new skill and being willing to fail a little before getting it right isn’t always easy, but they’re showing great determination and resilience.

We’re proud of the progress they’re making and excited to see their confidence grow with every session.
