The idea
@gandabbaschocolate are bringing artisanal Sorrel and Chocolate to Leicester, combined with interfaith sonic and physical therapy.
There is strong demand for these experiences, which are normally prohibitively expensive.
People learn to make chocolate and sorrel, and also to recycle and upcycle bottles and old P&P to make new products.
Sales go into subsidising other community projects and back into the production process
This will create volunteering opportunities in the cultural sector, and introduced time honoured caribbean traditions from caribbean practitioners into Leicester. It will also make a space for adjacent practices such as yoga and sound baths for the community to participate in and experience for cheap or free
LCB Depot, African Caribbean Centre and Attenborough Arts Centre have supported and benefitted from the project thus far.
What we'll deliver
- miimum 1 Bottle of Sorrel per £10 raised
- minimum one distribution of chocolate per year
- access to minimum one Yoga / Soundbath session per month
Why it's a great idea
These two traditional caribbean receipies not only bring some seasonal cheer, but have proven health benefits do to the strict all natural ingredients policy. Yoga and Sound Baths provide a space for people to invest in their own wellness
Steps to get it done
- CIC / CIO Registration
- Appointment of Board
- Participation in Craft Market to Promote product and services
- Negotiation of Space hire at LCB / AAC / ACC Leicester
