On Saturday 26th November, Malden House, a residential care home, opened their doors to provide a venue for a cake bake held in memory of Jon Hayman. Jon’s grandmother is a resident of Malden House. The coffee morning was organised by Marion Hayman, residents, relatives and friends. There was the opportunity to buy cakes, Christmas
I decided to do a curry-off instead of a bake off, as my baking skills are not up to scratch. I made 45 curries for all my colleagues at work (Agility Logistics) and sold them to raise money for CRY. They went down a treat, my colleagues loved them and can’t wait for the next curry
Myself and Vicky Ballard ran the sale at RSCH and our colleague Natalie Barton ran the one at PRH. Four years on from losing Cheryl she is still fondly remembered and missed by all who knew and worked with her. She was the life and soul of any party and was the kind of person who

I got to work early on the CRY Great Cake Day. I carefully opened two big cake tins, one full of coconut macaroons, each topped with a glace cherry and resting on a square of CRY rice paper, the other full of Deliciously Ella almond-and-sea-salt brownies. This was only my second week at this new job,
With regards to both the day and the reasons behind running The Oxford Half Marathon on behalf of CRY, it would not have been possible without meeting a lady called Emma Jones. Emma’s brother Iain was taken at the age of 26 only a couple of years ago, and we were inspired by both the efforts
In October 2006 very suddenly we lost a father, husband, son, brother and uncle – Graham Button to sudden cardiac death. Over the last 10 years the family have endeavoured to raise as much money as possible in Graham’s memory for CRY. Events have included walks, cakes sales and gala dinners. But this year to mark
