Floristry as a tool for social goodWe’re Bread & Roses, an award-winning organisation on a mission to help women from refugee backgrounds flourish
Pioneering in the use of floriculture therapy, we harness the therapeutic benefits of working with flowers to create welcoming spaces where women from refugee backgrounds can build confidence, learn new skills, and connect with others. Alongside floristry, our programmes support English learning through a tailored curriculum and provide access to local support services - helping women feel more connected and confident in their communities.
Seasonal flowers helping refugee women flourish
Show your solidarity to refugee women as they rebuild their lives in the UK and buy a bunch or sponsor our next floristry training programme by signing up for a weekly flower subscription. When you buy from Bread & Roses, you’re also supporting the sustainable floristry movement, as we only use seasonal flowers sourced from small market farms and industry growers that are local to us, wrapped in recyclable packaging wherever possible.
