Luminary Bakery

Why it matters: Luminary is a women-led charity and social enterprise that runs a two-year training programme for women who’ve faced violence, homelessness or the criminal justice system, teaching them baking and employability skills. When you take one of their public baking classes or simply visit the cafe, your money funds that programme directly. The Stoke Newington cafe is the place to go, so check their events page for scheduled workshops, which book up.
