We gather as a faith community around the making and sharing of bread. Everyone is welcome to join us. We have job seekers, homeless people, businessmen and businesswomen, single mums and single dads with children, asylum seekers, retired people, teenagers, people with mental health problems, the list is very long!
Somewhere Else relies on its facilitators. We come from all walks of life, have many different interests but all share a love of our Bread Church and the rewards it brings working here.
During our bread-making, lots of people help with the washing up. Afterwards we set the table for lunch and finally tidy everything away before taking our bread home.
Our facilitators make the soup and look after the bread in the ovens.
Millie's been a member of our community for over a year and has just completed her facilitator's training, which she says she enjoyed very much. Here she is putting dough into the proving oven.
Milly also gives great hugs!
Most Thursdays Andrew comes with Len, his support worker. "Andrew always enjoys coming here," says Len, "he's always laughing and smiling and gettng stuck in kneading the dough.
I always enjoy coming to work to support Andrew, he's great company."
Nat visited us for the first time recently and said she'd like to share her beautiful, heartfelt poem.
Paul has been coming to Somewhere Else for a few years. He often arrives with different carers and always bakes delicous bread, as you can see in the photograph!
