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 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.

“At the beginning of the course I did not feel very well. For me, the course worked out depression. I stretched myself to come here. After each visit I felt much better and the flowers at home always reminded me that life can be beautiful and enduring like a bouquet.”
