A Homebaked kinda day
It was great to be invited to contribute to Breaking Ground’s inaugural festival. As part of our ‘Homebaked kinda day’ on 27th February, we explored four themes key to our work with fantastic international guest experts. It was a a fantastic day of sharing, learning and coming together (albeit on Zoom!)
