Fundraising Update:

We didn’t quite reach our target on our Crowdfunder so if you were meaning to donate but didn’t get the chance over the festive period then it is still up and taking donations, just click here.

You can also our Bread Club by donating £250 to our Crowdfunder, and we will add you to the weekly Bread Club list where you can redeem one loaf per week (for 48 weeks) once we’re up and running in our new home.

The other big way to help us financially right now is by buying gift vouchers to be used for cookery school classes in the new building for when we re-open. These are great gifts as they can be redeemed towards any of the courses we offer/will offer!
