Get ready to raise dough this Real Bread Week

The Real Bread Campaign’s annual, international celebration of additive-free loaves* and people who make them returns from 22 February – 1 March 2020 for its 11th year.

A particular focus will be on the enterprises and projects that are helping to change people’s lives for the better.

We knead YOUR dough

This Real Bread Week we want YOU to help the charity Sustain in one (or more) of these ways:

• Join the Campaign, if you still haven't yet
• Make a doughnation of £10 - £100 (or whatever you feel)
• Buy our t-shirt, mug, apron (on sale nearer the time), recipe book or a combination of these
• Collect doughnations from customers, if applicable

What we will do

Every penny raised will help us to build on a decade of connecting, supporting and celebrating the people behind the rise of Real Bread. Specifically, we will:

• Produce a Together We Rise guide to running a therapeutic / social/community enterprise, organisation and project
• Promote therapeutic and social/community enterprises, organisations and projects
• Organise at least one event that brings people together to build relationships with, and learn from, each other

We’ll also continue challenging obstacles to the rise of Real Bread.

Buy and bake

As ever, Real Bread Week’s main aims are encouraging people to:

• Buy Real Bread from local, independent bakeries: Look for The Loaf Mark!
• Bake their own Real Bread and teach other people to bake

If you can, we’d love you to run a Real Bread class, event or other activity (whatever works for you and your business / organisation!) and add the details to the Real Bread calendar.
