Our mission

We exist to empower women who have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse, violence, or sexual exploitation, offering them the chance to rebuild their lives through training, employment, and community support. Our mission is to help women find their strength, embrace their ambition, and gain the skills they need to thrive.

Baking as a tool for change

We use baking as a practical, creative, and therapeutic tool to take women on a journey toward employability and entrepreneurship. Through our tailored programs, participants learn not only how to bake but also develop transferable skills that open doors to the professional world. 

From our hands-on baking courses to work experience in our café, and paid employment within our bakery, Luminary is designed to holistically support women as they work toward independence and brighter futures.
