If baking takes your (fondant) fancy, Wessex Cancer Support would love you to host a Cakes4Cancer event this May, to raise money to support local people affected by cancer.
Rolling out across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight between 5 and 11 May, Cakes4Cancer is a really simple way to come together with friends, family or colleagues and ‘bake’ a difference by asking for a donation in return for a cuppa and cake.
“We’re passionate about community at Wessex Cancer Support and believe everyone affected by cancer should be able to get free and local emotional support whenever they need it,” explains Catherine Price, Wessex Cancer Support’s Director of Fundraising,
“Cakes4Cancer is all about people coming together to enjoy something delicious for a great cause. Your event can be as big or small as you want, either in person or virtual. You could put on a coffee morning at work, host an afternoon tea with friends or arrange a bake sale at school.
“Whether it’s faked or baked, every cake sold could help change someone’s life for the better. It really is a piece of cake!”
The charity has put together a free kit containing everything you need to host your own event, including lots of event ideas, cake toppers, posters and recipe cards. Sign up at Cakes4Cancer 2025 – Wessex Cancer Support.
