School children get inspired thanks to HGCA and Nabim
School children and their teachers learned more about the milling industry after they won the chance to have a tour of a 1,000 year-old mill – thanks to HGCA and nabim.
The Inspire competition, which saw four schools from Belfast, Edinburgh, Wigan and Banbury win the top day out was organised by HGCA’s and nabim’s educational project, grainchain.com.
Rob Heygate, of Heygates Limited Mills who hosted the visit at their Northamptonshire mill, said: “I come from a long line of millers and can’t emphasise enough the importance of keeping the industry alive and what better way than a competition like this – it not only shows youngsters what we do, but hopefully will inspire them to becoming bakers of the future.”
The winners also bagged the prize of baking monkey bread which is a sweet or savoury dough, with BBC Great British Bake Off baker Paul Hollywood and £500 for each school to invest in kitchen equipment for cooking activities.
