Baking a Difference
Learning for the Fourth Age
The group will use the process of baking bread and the pleasure of sharing fresh bread, as a way to bring older people living in care homes and sheltered housing together with their local communities. People will be trained to run regular community ‘bread and conversation’ sessions, with the aim of reducing loneliness and isolation and improving mental wellbeing.
