Bake It Better

Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity is asking budding bakers and their little helpers across the UK to butter up their family, friends and classmates by holding a bake sale to raise vital dough during the charity’s Bake it Better week (19 to 25 October 2015). Amateur bakers of all ages can take part – whether baking it or faking it, every sale will make a huge difference to thousands of very ill children from across the UK.

Last year Bake it Better raised over £100,000 towards Great Ormond Street Hospital’s redevelopment programme and, now in its fifth year, the 2015 appeal aims to raise more than £200,000 from bake sales across the UK.

The money raised will enable Great Ormond Street Hospital to provide world-class care for young patients and their families by contributing to the rebuilding of the hospital, supporting  ground-breaking research; funding the most up-to-date equipment and providing accommodation and other support services for children and their families.

To help make every bake sale stand out, the charity has put together a super fundraising kit, jam-packed full of materials including bunting, cake toppers, posters alongside celebrity and patient recipes, baking themed games and top tips to ensure every bake sale is a sweet success.

Hayley Richardson from Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity said, “Bake it Better is the perfect way to keep everyone entertained at the weekend – the whole family can get involved!  Every cupcake or cookie sold will help us make a real difference for Great Ormond Street Hospital’s seriously ill patients and their families from across the UK.”
