The last two Sundays we’ve been hanging out at the Russet. A week ago we had a committee meeting there, brainstorming over bacon sandwiches (we have so many ideas, events and happenings going on that we barely know where to start telling you about them all), and today we were there to be part of … Continue reading
So, we’ve undertaken a bit of an undertaking and signed ourselves up to run Hackney … not the whole of it, *just* a half marathon‘s worth of it, with a whole load of other people on Sunday 22nd June. We’re sure you’ll agree that the route looks pretty spectacular (and takes in a few pubs … Continue reading
Last month we put sieves on our heads hosted the second in our series of family baking workshops, this time at Ann Tayler Children’s Centre near London Fields. It almost goes without saying that we had fun, a whole lot of fun! The staff were great; our bakers – who helped run the session – … Continue reading
We’ve been a bit slow off the mark this year but, still, we don’t think it’s too late to wish you a happy 2014. Fourteen days in, hey?! How’s it been so far? For us … not too shabby actually! On Saturday we had our FCFK Hackney committee “away day,” which didn’t actually take place … Continue reading

Why aren’t you rushing out to the shops to get your copy? Impressed?! We are! Naturally we are thrilled and delighted that Eve at the Guardian liked … Continue reading
So… you know that saying, “Never work with children or animals”? Um, yeah, we kind of ignored it. There were no lions or tigers or bears, oh no, but there most certainly were children and lots and lots of them! What are we talking about? Our baking workshop of course! The Friday before the Friday … Continue reading
We know Tuesday nights are for the Great British Bake Off and nothing else, and we know that last Tuesday was none other than the GBBO final, but we had very important work to do, so we had no choice but to make our excuses to Paul “Blue-eyes” Hollywood and the lovely Mary and go … Continue reading
As FCFK Hackney goes from strength to strength, our ability to have a wider impact on our local area is being recognised – recently most notably by Hackney Council who have awarded us a grant for a whopping £1,000. The money has to be used specifically to deliver an event for our volunteers and two … Continue reading
July saw us stepping a little out of our comfort zone – we channelled our inner east end barrow boy and headed down to Spitalfields to set up a one off FCFK Hackney market stall. We’d been invited by Imago Dei to tout our wares and raise awareness of what we do alongside a whole … Continue reading
