Empowering Women to Rebuild and Thrive
At 'A Giving Plate', we are dedicated to empowering women survivors of domestic violence to regain confidence and independence. Through hands-on culinary training, we equip women with valuable skills for the food industry. We provide personalised support to help participants secure meaningful employment, including job search guidance and connections with local employers. Beyond training and jobs, we foster a supportive community and offer therapeutic life coaching, ensuring each woman has ongoing encouragement, practical help, and a sense of belonging as she rebuilds her life and creates a brighter future for herself and her family
