Celebrate being a Social Change Hero with Social Enterprise gifts
Social Enterprise Miss Macaroon has produced 2.5 million macaroons in the past decade! We have catered for celebrities, royal events and global brands.
We’re launching a range of new products to mark the occasion of 10 years in business. We would love for you to continue supporting our social impact and that of our carefully selected social enterprise partners.
Miss Macaroon X Social Enterprises
As X is the Roman numeral for 10 we’ve decided to collaborate with key social enterprises. We’ve created beautiful new macaroon flavours, gift boxes and hampers. Whether it’s for the office or home, these’ll make absolutely gorgeous stocking-fillers as the Holiday season approaches!
Our first social enterprise collaboration was Miss Macaroon X Tea People – an organisation centred around funding education projects in tea-growing regions of the world. Since then we’ve partnered with organisations such as One Gin, Aduna, Burning Barn Rum, Sea Change and Liberation Nuts!
Read below to find out more about our collaboration partners and the delicious macaroon sets we’ve created as part of our 10th birthday celebrations.
Who is Social Enterprise Miss Macaroon?
At Miss Macaroon we reinvest 100% of our profits into helping unemployed young people gain skills that will help to change their lives. We are on a mission to bake a brighter future.
Miss Macaroon set up in 2011 with just one team member, a small kitchen space, £500 and a whole load of determination. We are now one of Birmingham’s most well renowned social enterprise companies.
We train small groups of individuals aged 18 to 35 on our Macaroons that Make A Difference (MacsMAD) programme. Each ten week course is tailored to address their personal barriers to employment. We understand how to be successful in a workplace and use Miss Macaroon’s production kitchen or macaroon and Prosecco bar to practice these skills. Every penny we make is invested in enabling our MacsMAD trainees to build their confidence and skills to become work ready.
Our social work has been recognised by John Lewis Partnership’s Community Investment Fund, with Miss Macaroon receiving a £150,000 grant.
The funding will be used to pay the wages of recent and future MacsMAD (Macaroons that Make A Difference) graduates. The grant will allow us to expand our efforts as a Social Enterprise.
