According to research carried out in 2023 for Recycle Your Electricals there are around 1.4 million bread machines going unused in UK homes.
Let's free some of those machines!
If you are *not* going to use your bread-maker why not give it away so someone else can try their hand at home-baked bread. Our app makes it easy and quick to re-home unwanted gadgets (or anything else!) in your local area.
Just go here https://www.ilovefreegle.org/explore/ to see what's being given away in your neighbourhood.
Equally if you are wishing you did have a bread machine but you don't have the cash to splash, then have a look on your local Freegle group to see if someone is giving away what you're after; you'll be amazed at all the useful stuff you can get for free. Have a look today, Freegle is a great way to procure household essentials when you're on a budget. Grab our app to do that https://www.ilovefreegle.org/mobile
As well as celebrating making Real Bread by hand, The Real Bread Campaign now echoes its origins by inspiring people to dust off and use an underemployed bread machine, or pass it on to someone who will.
Mixing, kneading and shaping dough by hand takes very little of your time and many people find the process therapeutic.
Other people discover that the answer to taking control of the food they do (and the additives they don’t) eat and feed to their families is a bread maker.
There are literally millions of unused bread makers in kitchens across the land - let's get them all working again - Happy Real Bread Week!
