Emma asked for support with a catering business. Already having professional skills in cookery, she added to this with food and catering courses in prison.

She invested time in building a robust business plan and creating recipe ideas. We provided her with the tools she needs to get the business off the ground. She made her first sale just weeks after being released.

‘I’m now working doing something I really like, using the skills I learnt in prison. I love cooking for people and making their day a little bit better. There’s nothing like seeing someone clear a plate of food I’ve made. I like experimenting with new recipes and learning new techniques’.
