OVENS at a maltings company have been on full power this week to create loaves for a local charity.

Edme in Mistley has donated malt loaves to Acorn Village for their Christmas Market and Winter Wonderland fundraising event this weekend.

Richard Ball, Edme’s baker, has been mixing, kneading and baking to get the loaves ready for the event at the Clacton Road centre on Saturday.

Edme’s managing director, Peter Tichbon said: “We’ve made batches of malt loaves for Acorn Village before and since then we’ve been inundated with requests for them.

“We’re delighted to support again and help in some way with their incredible fundraising efforts.”
