We're absolutely thrilled to announce that we've secured £20,000 in funding for our solar panel installation, and we couldn't have done it without the support of Horsham District Council and HM Government. We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for their assistance in this endeavour.

This funding is a significant step forward for us, and it's going to make a real difference in our community. With our new solar panels in place, we're not only going to power our bakery sustainably, but we're also planning to launch exciting projects that will benefit everyone in the area.

One of the most exciting developments is our community bakery initiative. Thanks to the electricity supplied by the solar panels, we've created a fantastic opportunity for our community. Our bakery is equipped with not just one, but two ovens, and we have a spacious area for you to work in. This means that locals can now book a couple of hours in our well-equipped bakery and only pay for the use of the equipment. It's a win-win situation, allowing you to enjoy the art of baking without the burden of high electricity costs.

But that's not all; the positive impact of this funding goes beyond just affordable baking. With the help of our new solar panels, we'll be able to host more bagel baking experience days, attracting people from outside the area who may go on to support the local economy. This not only introduces our delicious bagels to a wider audience but also promotes our wonderful community.

Most importantly, the funding will significantly reduce our carbon footprint and make our bagels a truly sustainable product. Every time someone buys our bagels, they're contributing to lowering CO2 emissions and helping the planet. By choosing our bagels, you're not only enjoying a tasty treat, but you're also supporting eco-friendly, locally sourced products. It's a small choice that can have a big impact on our environment.

We're truly excited about this journey towards sustainability and community involvement, and we can't wait to share it with all of you. Thank you, Horsham District Council and HM Government, for making all of this possible. Together, we're making our bagels not just delicious, but also a force for positive change.
