Miss Macaroon: People in Retail Awards

We are thrilled to announce that The Fairer Futures Programme, a meaningful collaboration between Midcounties Co-operative and Miss Macaroon, has won the Community Engagement Programme of the Year at the prestigious Retail Bulletin People in Retail Awards 2024! This award is a significant honour in the retail industry, recognising excellence in initiatives that positively impact communities. Competing against notable programmes from well-respected companies, including Holland and Barrett, The Perfume Shop and IKEA, we are incredibly proud that our shared vision of empowering young people in Walsall has been recognised in such a meaningful way.

The Fairer Futures Programme was designed to create opportunities for young individuals facing barriers to employment. With the support of the team at Midcounties Co-operative, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these young people. Through hands-on training and mentorship, the programme not only equips participants with vital skills but also fosters a sense of belonging and community. We believe that by investing in our youth, we are helping to build a stronger, more resilient future.

A heartfelt congratulations goes out to Rachel Houslin, our Programme Manager, and Amina Nessa, our Programme Assistant. Their tireless dedication and passion have been the driving force behind the success of The Fairer Futures Programme. Throughout the year, they have worked diligently to develop engaging training sessions and create supportive environments for our participants. Thank you, Rachel and Amina, for your incredible commitment to empowering our young people!

At Miss Macaroon, our mission extends beyond creating and selling delicious macaroons. We are deeply committed to our social values, which centre on inclusivity, empowerment, and community engagement. Each macaroon we produce serves a dual purpose: to delight our customers and to support our training initiatives for those facing challenges in the job market. When you choose to indulge in our macarons, you are not just enjoying a treat; you are actively participating in a cause that makes a difference in people’s lives.

For those looking to support our mission while enjoying a sweet treat, we invite you to visit our store at Resorts World Birmingham. We are excited to announce that we are offering a flavour of the week macaroon for just £1! It’s a fantastic way to sample our delectable creations while contributing to a good cause. Every purchase helps fund The Fairer Futures Programme and supports young people in their journey towards meaningful employment.

If you can’t make it to our store, fear not! You can easily purchase our macaroons online through our website. All profits from our sales go directly towards supporting our community initiatives. Your support not only helps us continue our work but also inspires our participants to dream big and achieve their goals.
