Let's get everyone talking, baking and eating cake for our mental health! Bake Well Being takes creative coaching to a whole new level! Hosting one-to-one coaching sessions, workshops, webinars and events using baking as a positive coping strategy. The mission is to use the combination of creative and learning experiences to mutually improve mental health awareness, well-being and support through sharing the joy, benefits and skills that baking provides! This social project aims to create a safe space for my community to engage in cathartic bakes, filled with skilful techniques, topped with creative expression and release to enhance self-esteem, empowerment and overall well-being. Your funding will help Bake Well Being to launch PHASE 3: Build the Coaching Corner: the Bake Well Being workspace designed to host in-person coaching and community workshops by 2026 Develop marketable products that will support sustainable income (postal baking kits!) "Baking has healing powers and I want to share this positive coping strategy with the World" My name’s Ella and two of my greatest passions in life are baking and supporting mental health awareness. I’ve always felt an important part of my one chance at life is to encourage positive change, and in 2024 I realised that combining the two was a perfect way to achieve this! After pitching my idea in the University of Greenwich Enterprise Challenge and winning for the Social Category, I decided to pursue this dream as my next step following graduating from my Events Management Degree. Since then, I have become a qualified Mental Health First Aider and completed by Wellness and Resilience Coaching Diploma. "Bake Well Being is focused on educating people on the joys, benefits and skills that baking provides, while making coaching and other forms of mental health support readily available, accessible and even enjoyable!" I’ve been passionate about better understanding and raising awareness for mental health from a young age. When I was about nine years old, I witnessed the extremities of how mental ill-health can affect a person and everyone around them when someone close to me was institutionalised after experiencing a breakdown leading to chronic depression. This sparked a mission within me to aim to work towards intervention and prevention practices in an effort to avoid anyone else reaching that position in their own mental health journey and I began to advocate for mental health. Since, I have greatly supported the Mind Charity with fundraisers and championing of their work. Last year I decided to further my actions and make mental health support my life’s work and career when I launched Bake Well Being.
