The company has operated in 2 areas during this year. These have been commercially, and as a training operation, via our Pizza Pirates trading arm. And as a wellbeing support operation via our Dough Bro’s programme. Pizza Pirates runs a weekly takeaway and events-catering business that employs young people and adults recovering from poor mental health on real living wage roles teaching them how to make authentic pizzas and customer service skills. Staff are supported in their wellbeing and onward career development. In this financial year we have supported 2 members of staff through homelessness and 1 through addiction recovery. All staff member are encouraged to help with decision-making within the business and are encouraged to bring their skills to menu development and marketing tasks. Dough Bro’s is a weekly men’s mental health support programme using pizza making to help bring men together and talk about their feelings. In this period groups were run primarily in Totnes, Devon. Over this period, we worked with approximately 60 men, with average group sizes of 14 men per week. Participants reported significant increases in their self-esteem, communication skills, relationships and hopes for the future. We have since been asked to run groups in other areas around South Devon.
Our main stakeholders are young people and men struggling with their mental health. For our young employees, we coach and supervise them regularly, part of which is asking how they are finding their roles, and what changes they think would be useful to make working conditions easier or more streamlined. This has led to us changing opening times, shift patterns and working processes. In 2022 we employed a general manager to oversee a shift in working practices and protocols based on this feedback. This new role helped to bring in new food productions processes to ensure that less experienced staff members could be trained by their more experienced peers more easily. This came about as a result of requests to improve our on-the-job training. Our Dough Bro’s programme moved more into a peer-support format over this period, reducing the reliance on a paid staff member to facilitate. This came about after consultation with participations around their need for a weekly ongoing space that needed to happen even when a staff member was unavailable. We conducted numerous conversations within groups with participants around what would be needed to make the group less reliant on staff support. It led to the creation of a Dough Bro’s “handbook” comprising session plan, scripts for starting and closing sessions, set-up/close-down procedures, food safety guidelines and safeguarding information.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £30,000. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
