Trust fundraising manager jobs in denham green, buckinghamshire
Luminary Ltd provides training, employment and community to some of the most disadvantaged women in London. We use baking as a tool to guide women towards employability and independence. We work alongside women who have experienced gender-based violence and live with ‘multiple disadvantage’.

Women gain valuable work experience through our sister organisation, Luminary Bakery, as well as being paired with a volunteer mentor who helps her develop her career next steps.
Who we are
Luminary consists of two entities working towards a shared purpose.
Luminary Ltd is a registered charity that provides training and support programmes for women who have experienced violence and disadvantage.
