The staff at the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich have been fundraising for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) all year.  On Tuesday 10 December they held a Christmas Day in the office and raised an amazing £586 for CRY from online and cash donations.

The day included a Great Festive Bake Off and 14 staff became budding Star Bakers and produced some amazing bakes and cakes.  The judging was by our very own Paul and Prue – otherwise known as Gary Peverley, Diocesan Secretary and Penny Longford, People Director.  Big congratulations to Marie Lipman who received the Hollywood Handshake and trophy for her sumptuous Rocky Road!

Over 40 members of staff, clergy and trustees, many wearing Christmas jumpers, came together for a Carol Service, led by the Revd Katie de Bourcier.  The group enjoyed mulled wine, mince pies, and of course all the delicious Star Bakers bakes!

A big thanks to everyone involved and for all the generous donations for CRY.
