What the Real Bread Campaign does for you
Are you missing opportunities we create?
A wise man* once said ‘what is said is not what is heard.’
With this in mind, we’ve gathered together a reminder (or, for some people, a revelation) of what the Campaign is about.
These include facts about our: definition, mission, vision, people, and funding.
Then there’s our actual work. Please read on for just some of the things we do, primarily in the UK, for business owners and for everyone else.
Want to discover ways to get (more) involved with, and to support, our charity?
*Okay, it was a Belgian electronic/DJ act called Soulwax...
