SofraMCR CIC

Where do they work?: Chorlton Park
Description: SofraMCRCIC aims to support women from various backgrounds to be more independent and gain employment by improving their English, confidence and skills through the power of food to make a real difference in people’s lives to use food as a route to personal development and social change.

We will help women to create the change they see needed in communities.
Food brings people together and offers enormous opportunities for learning and improving a person’s health and wellbeing. I love to cook and wanted to
explore how I could use the power of food to instigate social change.

We started this training program to help empower women and support them in being independent and encourage them into employment.

We will offer women the opportunity to take part in the Sofra MCR training programme at Dahlia House café, Burange Lane, Burange, M191FL.

This will improve the confidence and employment skills of the trainees, and they will also act as champions for their communities to encourage other women to take up opportunities to work and learn.

Dahlia House Café is based in Southway’s Extra Care scheme and provides a place for scheme residents and other local people to meet up and connect with others in the neighborhood. The trainees will chat with people in the café to practice their English and we will work with Southway staff to organise and promote events in the café, creating a welcoming place for people to come.
