The Team

Bread & Roses was founded by Olivia Head, Sneh Jani-Patel and Olivia Wilson in 2016. The three were motivated to launch the charity after meeting a group of inspiring refugee and asylum-seeking women and learning about the challenges they faced rebuilding their lives here in the UK. Today Bread & Roses is run in London by Olivia Wilson and Emma Whitworth. Our model has been adapted by two sister organisations, du Pain et des Roses, in Paris and Nantes.
