We've got one of our Baking & Bereavement sessions this morning. They really do have a positive impact on people's lives. We thought we'd share feedback from a previous participant.

Thanks to @tnlcommunityfund.org,.uk for the grant which makes this all possible.

Lots of bagels for you this morning.
Poppy and plain, as in this image, but also sesame and our new onion bagels too!

If you complete your loyalty card this week, you can of course claim your free loaf for yourselves, but did you know you can also donate it to @hangleton_food_bank. Each month we bake a whole load of donated loaves to the food bank at St George's Church Hall on Court Farm Road.

Breads on the shelf for you and the doors are open.
Come along to your local bakery right here on Stoneham Road.

Prep underway this afternoon. During the afternoons we prep the doughs for the next day, but we're also open to sell any bread not sold in the morning. So pop in and grab a loaf, or maybe a cinnamon bun on your way past.

We've got some great looking bread this morning. Proved overnight to maximise flavour, and baked this morning by our brilliant volunteer team.

We've got #BreadShed this morning.
It's a chance to bake, but importantly a chance to talk and connect.
#BakingForWellbeing #TacklingIsolation

We'll be baking these delicious fougasse this evening as part of our latest workshop. All places on our workshops are sold out, but we're planning and publishing new dates for April-July soon. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media channels, or follow us on Eventbrite to be the first to know.

It's already the third day of March, but here's the latest calendar from our friends at @actionhappiness.bsky.social #MindfulMarch

Got some delicious tinned loaves (amongst many other loaves) for you today.
See you at 10am

Our volunteer team are busy shaping and baking the doughs. We're a #socialenterprise, so every loaf, bagel or bun you buy helps us to support #wellbeing through breadmaking.

Sourdoughs out of the oven and heading to the shelves. Doors open at 10am

Prep is complete, and we've got lots of #realbread proving ready for tomorrow.

Doors open as usual at 10am

Today marks the start of #RealBreadWeek. We're big supporters of this organisation and all they do to promote bread made with the simplest of ingredients.

Whilst we're not open today, we're looking forward to returning on Thursday with lots of #RealBread for you.

We're closed for bread sales this week, but our important #bakingandbereavement project is still running.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in these FREE sessions, please do get in touch.

All done for the day. We're taking a break over the next week to rest and recuperate, spend time with family and friends, and do a bit of maintenance. Back baking on Thursday the 26th February with all the usuals.

Afternoon prep underway.
We're getting lots of sourdoughs ready for baking tomorrow. This Saturday will be our last bake for a week, so grab the opportunity to stock up.

Some great breads out of the oven and cooling. Doors open at 10am, so get yourself down to the Bakehouse on Stoneham Road for then to ensure you're not disappointed.

We're open tomorrow with lots of bread for you, including some of these delicious bagels. Time to stock up your bread bins & freezers. As usual, we're going to be taking a break over Half-Term to allow the team to do some maintenance, support their wellbeing, and spend time with family and friends

"Each session builds on the previous one. Everyone is lovely, the shared experience makes you realise it (grief) is a common state You leave feeling better." (Baking & Bereavement Participant)

Thanks to @tnlcommunityfund we're able to run these impactful #BakingAndBereavement sessions

Doors open at 10am. Come down and get yourself some delicious bread for the weekend. Baked right here in Poets' Corner, it not only gives you something delicious to eat, it helps us support others' wellbeing through breadmaking too. #socentbakers #businessforgood #buysocial

The team are busy this morning, with breads coming out of the oven and lots of dough being scaled and shaped right now.

Lennox Sourdough - wholemeal spelt, white wheat, our rye starter and a little bit of salt and malt syrup. A pretty delicious loaf if you ask us. What's your favourite of our sourdoughs?

We try to have open conversations about #mentalhealth in the Bakehouse. You don’t need to have all the answers to be a good listener. Sometimes a friendly ear and space to share is all someone needs.

Let someone know they’re being heard this #TimeToTalk Day. @mind.org.uk

The baking week has started and our brilliant volunteer team are busy baking, with breads going in and coming out of the oven. Doors open at 10am and we'll have lots of bread for you.

As part of their #FriendlyFebruary calendar, @ActionHappiness.bsky.social are encouraging us to invite a friend over for a 'tea break' today. We've got our #BreadShed session this morning which is very much about meeting people and chatting, and drinking tea and coffee, and of course, baking bread.

We're proud to be members of the @realbreadcampaign. They work tirelessly to promote the production and consumption of real bread - bread without additives. If you're a home baker, or an enthusiastic consumer of bread, why not join us in supporting this fabulous charity. #realbread

We're thankful for the support that @tnlcommunityfund have given us for our #BakingForWellbeing and #BakingAndBereavement programmes. Funding enables us to run these sessions at no cost to the attendees - for some this breaks down a barrier to attending and benefiting from the therapeutic baking.

It’s February and our friends at Action for Happiness have released their latest calendar. We always have the latest one up in the Bakehouse for the team to use. This month it’s all about friendships. #FriendlyFebruary
