Companion: Together in Bread and Song

The project provides a programme of inclusive and participant-led breadmaking and singing activities for 30-40 adults with learning difficulties. Following on from the Covid-19 pandemic, the project addresses the need of vulnerable adults to reintegrate with community and improve their sense of confidence, efficacy, and self-esteem. The programme aims to support participants’ physical, mental and emotional well-being through a multi-layered approach, with bread-making providing opportunities to learn new skills, learn about healthy food and take part in therapeutic mindful reflection. Singing activities will provide opportunities for creative self-expression, confidence-building, and integrating into the wider community. Beneficiaries: Approximately 40 adults with a learning disability or experiencing mental health issues (UK).
