Love-to-Bake

New on the workbench… and now ready for your kitchen! 🪵✨

Each board is made right here in our workshop by our brilliant woodwork volunteers using reclaimed wood where possible. Every piece is a little bit different, full of character, and made with plenty of care (and a fair bit of sanding!).

They’re £15 each, and every purchase helps support the wellbeing work of St Margaret’s Centre.

A simple chopping board… but with a much bigger story behind it. 💚

If one tickles your fancy, pop us a message!

I decided to bake some Cheese Scones. Spur of the moment. Slightly crispy on top but delicious all the same. Happy weekend everyone!!

We're always motivated and inspired by the support St Margaret's Centre receives from our community. After sharing on social media last week that the 'Pay It Forward' free meal tokens in our café were running extremely low, we were overwhelmed by the response – numerous customers came in to help out, and even a generous person living 300 miles away called up to make a donation and fill the board.

The work is ongoing and the demand remains high, but it is truly heartwarming to see kindness travel so far!

Lots of sweet treats available.

What do you do when you have a day off work? You bake of course or at least I do. A few treats for my family to enjoy this half term.
You can grab your homebaked treats at The Old School Café which is open tomorrow from 9.30am.

🌱 Help Change Lives Every Month 🌱

St Margaret’s Centre in Durham provides vital support for people living with mental health challenges. From creative workshops to skills training and community activities, the Centre is a safe space where recovery and wellbeing can flourish.

Demand for our service continues to rise. To help us meet the needs of our community, we have launched a donation campaign through CAF Donate and we would be so grateful if you could support us with either a one-off or regular donation.

By becoming a regular donor, you can:

• Provide stability for ongoing mental health programmes
• Ensure more people in Durham have access to support when they need it most
• Help reduce isolation and build a stronger, healthier community

💚 Every monthly gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting difference. Please join our community of supporters today by clicking the link below, and help us continue this life-changing work.
