About us
It's not about the biscuit! 🍪 Half the Story make delicious shortbread biscuits in packs of three - perfect for meetings or your office teabreak. ☕ But that's only half the story! Our bakery provides supportive employment opportunities for those who have experienced homelessness. Our team members can be assured of a real living wage, secure hours and support with their mental and physical health in a kind and caring environment. 💓 So this is where you join the story. If your workplace or organisation eats biscuits (I really hope they do otherwise that's quite sad) maybe you could swap to Half the Story biscuits and provide someone with a better future. ☘ Suitable for plant based diet 🌎 Biodegradable packet 🌳 FSC cardboard ✅ Great for your CSR/ESG Get in touch today to find out more

It's not about the biscuit... ... it's about the people who made them! "I came from a background of homelessness and addiction, I kept losing jobs, I was unemployable... and then I met these guys [Half the Story], they employed me and my life changed, because not only did they employ me they have supported me right throughout my employment" Every 1000 biscuits purchased represents an hour of real Living Wage work and support for a team member who has experienced major barriers to employment. Get in touch at info@halfthestory.uk to find out how to order biscuits for your office/conference venue/hotel! #ESG #socialvalue

The hope, purpose and dignity are palpable. 12 months ago this family were homeless. They're now housed. And the mum is employed, full of hope and purpose. Other employers wouldn't look beyond the problems. Our great team saw an opportunity and has found a way to make things work, to make the hours fit around school. This child was always told by their mum to work hard at school in order to get a good job - but then she went home to hours and hours alone. The child is still hearing the same words from the same mum. But now those words are being said with a smile, hope and purpose. And over dinner they both get to talk about the hard work they've done that day. Hope. Purpose. Dignity. #LifeChangingJobs
