Better Health Bakery - Expert Impact

Lisa Donohue,

Better Health Bakery

Met with Jim Cregan

Better Health Bakery is a social enterprise bakery based in Haggerston, East London. We are part of The Centre for Better Health, a long standing Hackney-based mental health charity.

As a social enterprise, we focus on providing work skills training placements for those who have been distanced from employment due to mental ill-health, while providing quality products and services to the local community. All the revenue we generate is put back into the Centre for Better Health to support the organisation’s work.

Jimmy’s experience and expertise are so relatable to our own model, and it was extremely reassuring to discuss business development with such a calm and knowledgeable human being.
