Forge Bakehouse strengthens community links with charity scheme

The company, which has shops and cafes in Abbeydale, Beauchief, Lodge Moor and at Sheffield Station, has launched a new scheme in which staff at all time will be able to take a day out every year to support the charity of their choice.

“We are a Sheffield business and feel very strongly about the importance of supporting the communities we serve,” said owner Liva Guest.

“It will be entirely down to the individual if they want to take part in the scheme and they will be able to support the charity of their choice, though obviously we would like them to select something that aligns with the our core values.

“But we know there are so many fantastic charities in Sheffield that will really appreciate the time and enthusiasm that the Forge Bakehouse team can give them.

“We are happy for our staff to give the time and they will be paid in full for the day they spend away from us.”
