  • As a Missionary Barista, every Intern will be challenged to raise support to part-subsidise their placement with Bread. This fundraising goal will initially be set at £2,000 per Intern for every 90 day internship cycle.

    Though we encourage Interns to take personal responsibility for meeting this target, we furthermore recognise it to be an essential component of the Internship itself - understanding “living by faith” to be an integral part of living a missional lifestyle. We therefore commit to providing extensive training and resources, as well as prayer and encouragement, to support each Intern on an individual basis, as needed.
