834,000 Biscuits Baked
And Lives Being Rebuilt
Did you know that in 2025, our incredible team at Half the Story baked a whopping 834,000 biscuits?
That’s a lot of shortbread 🍪
But behind every batch is something far more meaningful than numbers alone.
More Than Just Biscuits
Half the Story is one of our social enterprises, and its impact goes far beyond baking.
Each biscuit represents an opportunity — providing supportive employment for individuals facing significant barriers to work. For many, this is a vital step towards rebuilding confidence, gaining skills and moving forward into more stable futures.
It’s not just about producing great products. It’s about creating an environment where people can grow, feel valued and rediscover purpose.
Creating Pathways Forward
Our social enterprises play a key role in the wider work of Green Pastures.
Alongside safe housing and tailored support, they offer individuals the chance to:
- Develop new skills
- Build routine and structure
- Grow in confidence
- Take meaningful steps towards employment
These opportunities help residents not only get back on their feet, but begin to live life to the full.
A Bigger Story
834,000 biscuits tells a story of dedication, teamwork and impact.
But more importantly, it tells a story of lives being rebuilt — one step, one opportunity, one person at a time.
