Crowdfunding success
Knead to Know…more backers help Real Bread Campaign smash target
We're celebrating at the Real Bread Campaign as more than 270 backers helped us to rise above not only our basic target of £3000 but also our stretch target of £10,000.* There were also some BIG doughnations paid straight into our account in July, taking the final total to more than £12,000! - see below for the full list.
Update: The book is due out in early November 2021. Copies will be posted to crowdfunders who selected it as a reward and it will also be available order from the Real Bread Campaign website.
What now?
The success means that not only will Sustain be able to publish Knead to Know...more as planned but the Campaign can also start our proposed Friends In Knead initiative. We'll be teaming up with organisations including Luminary Bakery and The School of Artisan Food to support budding community baking entrepreneurs who face extra hurdles in setting up their businesses.
In the meantime, we hope you're ready to get stuck into (or at least to help spread the word about) Sourdough September!

Sustain receives no grant funding or sponsorship for its Real Bread work. Instead, the charity relies entirely on annual subscriptions, publication sales, doughnations and income from Real Bread gifts. Please:

Thanks to all of you, and the backers who asked to remain anonymous, for the dough to do it!
*We'll have to pay a few hundred quid in fees and VAT from this but the good news is that will be more than made up for by many backers ticking 'yes' to Gift Aid, meaning the UK government will match 25% of every £1 of those pledges.
