A new quarter brings a new Work.Life charity fundraise, and this time it was the turn of our London Fields space, who chose to support the incredible grassroots charity Breadwinners<\/a>, with an evening of Life Drawing.<\/p>\n

Breadwinners was set up in 2016 by Martin Cosarinsky Campos and since June 2017, their main focus has been to train and employ refugees who sell homemade organic bread on farmers\u2019 markets across London. Their main focus is to couple their successful market stall model with work experience and mentoring support for young unaccompanied people seeking asylum.<\/p>\n

They offer two separate programmes: the Breadwinners Programme and the Risers Programme. The \u2018Risers\u2019 programme provides early support for young people (16-24 years old) who are seeking asylum in order for them to build transferable skills, grow their network and gain UK work experience. The \u2018Breadwinners\u2019 programme supports refugees who already have status but cannot find employment in the UK.<\/p>\n

What makes Breadwinners special is as a company they invest the funding to set up market stalls which sustain themselves from bread sales.<\/p>\n
