House of Cinn: Fighting Homelessness One Cinnamon Bun at a Time

Source: Facebook/House-of-Cinn

House of Cinn is a social enterprise that sells cinnamon goodies to help rough sleepers across London break the cycle of homelessness.

Turning cinn buns into acts of goodwill

The co-founders of London-based House of Cinn combined their passion for good food with doing good deeds, to create with a bakery brand on a mission to support and employ those most in need. Through their partnership with the Street Cafe charity, they are able to be part of a unique project where they meet rough sleepers on the streets, build supportive communities around them, and then give them the opportunity to regain financial independence within their social enterprise.

They make a variety of delicious handmade buns, and 65% of their profits go towards helping rough sleepers get back on their feet. Their mission is to turn their baked goods into “acts of goodwill, by offering love, community and financial empowerment to those most in need.”
