Cake for Care

Are you hosting an event over the Jubilee bank holiday? Why not support The Care Workers’ Charity, while celebrating.
Throughout the month of June we are hoping to see Bake Sales, Tea Parties and Afternoon Teas so raise a teacup and help raise funds for this worthy cause.
If you’re working in the community, in a care home, in an office or working from home this is something that everyone can get involved in.
Get a few keen bakers on board and have a mix of yummy bakes on offer. Don’t forget to let people know that the money raised is going towards a great cause.
Share photos of your bakes with us on social media. Remember to tag @TheCareWorkers’Charity and use the hashtag #cakeforcare
