Always wanted to try and bake your own bread?
Sourdough is a bread raised by aerobic yeast (yeasts in the atmosphere) that are captured in a mixture of flour and water and fed regularly to keep them alive. There are many different ways to make a sourdough starter — some people insist on using mineral water to feed the starter, others use water from boiled potatoes to get the starter going. It’s very effective to get a cup of someone else’s starter that you can then feed and grow yourself. Other people have sourdough starters that have been handed down through generations, but there’s no need for all that fuss: it’s incredibly easy to make your own.

A reminder to our Total Mobility Scheme clients. Don't forget about the Free Trips which are available up until 30 June 2020 !!!

Auckland Transport will pay the transport cost (up to $80.00 maximum each way) for all trips using your Total Mobility Scheme card. If your trip is over $80.00 you will have to pay the balance. In many cases our clients trips are under $80.00 per trip so they are getting free transport :) This is a great opportunity to get out and about in Level 2 and to reconnect with your community again. Normal fares will resume from 1 July 2020.

There will be a charge for services such as Companion or Waiting as these services are not covered by the Total Mobility Scheme.

We have eftpos available with the option of contactless payment.
