The Annie Elliot Award is a unique initiative made possible through the dedicated support and financial assistance from the sales of our Botanical Blend flour. The use of the Diversity Bread Trademark Licence and the profits means that we can change the whole system. The awards are specifically designed to increase understanding and knowledge in the bread industry and the health industry to raise awareness of how good bread is nourishing and can support both physical and mental health.
Funding Source: Botanical Blend Flour
We are delighted to share that 100% of our profit from the Botanical Blend Flour (supported by the the Diversity Bread consultation fees and Trademark) is what funds the Sourdough School Educational Programme. Milled and distributed through Hodmedods Ltd, the flour supports 4 years of regenerative farming, and supports both physical and mental health through providing fibre and diversity to the gut.
The Sourdough School’s Botanical Blend flour is not only a cornerstone of our Baking as Lifestyle Medicine but also the financial backbone of our awards programme. This blend, curated, milled and distributed by Hodmedod’s, incorporates a variety of botanicals and grains designed to enhance both the flavour and nutritional profile of our bread, and support the farmers and soil health
Hodmedod’s Partnership
Hodmedod’s, a company renowned for its commitment to sustainable farming and milling practices, partners with The Sourdough School to mill and distribute this special flour. Their support ensures that our Botanical Blend flour reaches a wide audience, allowing bakers everywhere to benefit from its unique properties.
100% Profits Dedicated to Awards
What sets our programme apart is our commitment to reinvest 100% of the profits from the sales of Botanical Blend flour back into The Sourdough School. Every purchase directly supports the BALM Diploma Awards, ensuring that more healthcare professionals and community bakers can access this transformative education regardless of their financial situation.
