• The chocolate “Bean to Bar” story
• Guide to tempering chocolate
• A chocolate truffle recipe
• A small Christmas related chocolate gift
• 90 minute presentation on chocolate, with lots of opportunities to have your questions answered

All the chocolate used is of the highest quality from renowned producers, there will be no artificial flavourings, sweeteners or preservatives and definitely no palm oil!

The cost is £20 per person, plus £10 per person for additional household member wishing to take part in the experience.

THE MAYOR OF CROYDON’S CHARITIES 2020-21

I’m taking over as Mayor during one of the greatest crises to have faced this country in a century, and we are going to be more reliant than ever on our charity sector. I have therefore chosen three charities which are going to be so important in helping us during Croydon’s fightback. All three charities are also causes very close to my heart. All money raised during my year as Mayor will be divided equally between them.

Home-Start Croydon – Charity no. 1107857

Home-Start Croydon is a voluntary organisation committed to supporting local families, in their own homes, who are experiencing difficulties or suffering stress and who have at least one child under the age of five years.
