Bread Angels

WOOO HOOOO Alexandra Vaughan you are AMAZING!

Meet the woman who has turned her Wakefield home in to an artisan bakery The artisan movement is rising as Sally Clifford found out when she visited Alexandra Vaughan, a micro-baker in Wakefield, who is keen to pass on her skills to other bread enthusiasts.

The latest issue of True Loaf, published by The Real Bread Campaign, features an inspiring story about how Sara Ward (Hen Corner) trained the residents at Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney in how to make bread. This inspired a passion for Real Bread and a possible new career!

I founded the Bread Angels network back in 2010 with the aim to empower people to bake bread and train others, just as Sara does every day. It warms my heart to see this still in action.

Posted • So finally I have got round to post about my visit last week to 10 Downing Street’s festive food market ahead of last week’s Small Business Saturday, celebrating 12 small producers across the UK. We chatted and extolled the virtue of real bread. For me, I chatted all things DofE online courses, the importance of food education - basically to anyone who would listen🤣 and how I was trying to build my community through my love of baking and cooking.

Liz aka Ma Baker made some amazing bread (Boris liked it) and the multitude of cinnamon buns (made in my great non stick trays and non stick rings from ) went from 100 to zero in about 20 mins!

That one thing we can confidently say we share with Boris, is a love of real bread.

An exciting experience, met some lovely people including one of the sponsors of , ,the AMAZING chocolatiers and the wonderful (award winning clootie dumplings) . Many of these small business would love you to visit there websites and consider buying a wee Christmas gift.

Thank you so much for your organisation and ongoing support, a truly amazing organisation highlighting small businesses and of course my friend Liz who took me along- an incredible entrepreneur - do check her out in her news venture in Wales .

Congratulations to Bread Angel Darrin Romp of the The Hampshire Real Bread Co.

✨ S P E C I A L A W A R D S ✨

Tiptree Outstanding Achievement Award 🏆

Out of all the nominees for 2021 World Bread Awards UK, Darrin has stood out for demonstrating quality, integrity, innovation and authenticity in both his business and business practice.

Darrin took the leap to follow a lifelong passion and dream. He quit his job as a successful Architect to start up his own bakery business - which then boomed in a short space of time.

Adversity, however, seemed to fuel Darrin's dedication not just baking bread, but his personal service with delivering his bread to his customers, himself, throughout lockdown ... when he himself would have been classified as vulnerable.
