OAP & WWII Veterans From Service to Sourdough Programme

OAP & WWII Veterans

Recognising the contributions of OAP (Older Adult Pensioner) veterans means honouring not only their military service but also the steady, often quiet ways they continue to strengthen our communities.

To support veterans interested in baking we have tailored our new course ‘From Service to Sourdough’ combining practical skills with confidence building elements. This programme includes foundational baking techniques (bread, scones, and traybakes), adaptive methods for reduced mobility or arthritis-friendly tools.

In these sessions we welcome peer storytelling over shared bakes, coffee and tea fostering camaraderie similar to service life. Partnering with local bakeries for guest demonstrations building confidence and community connection.
