Talking, Baking and Eating Cake for Mental Health
West Wickham, England, United Kingdom
Aim
To raise awareness and provide mental health support by sharing the joy, benefits and skills of baking!
The Ingredients
My name's Ella and I'm turning 22 on July 20th. I'm currently a one woman team aiming to launch my Social Enterprise. Two of my greatest passions in life are baking and supporting mental health awareness. I've always felt an important part of my one chance at life is to encourage positive change, and last year I realised that combining the two was a perfect way to achieve this! After pitching my idea in the Unviersity of Greenwich Enterprise Challenge and winning the Social Catergory earlier this year, I decided to pursue this dream as my next step following graduating from my Events Management degree.
The Method
Bake Well Being aims to take creative coaching to a whole new level. Hosting one-to-one coaching sessions, workshops and events providing cathartic bakes, filled with skilful techniques, topped with creative expression and release. Clients will come away having made psychological achievements as well as physical (and tasty) ones! Baking for your well-being provides the additional element of a practical skill which enhances a sense of achievement as you’re able to create something from scratch, which you can then enjoy yourself or share with loved ones.
The Signature
The Technical
