Planning is key to hosting a successful bake sale, so start organising your event early and decide on a venue, invite people to take part and encourage them to donate some bakes. Over the years, we’ve had supporters holding events in schools, universities, workplaces, offices and even dedicated mornings at village halls.

• The more bakes on offer at your event, and the more people you can encourage to come along, the more money you’re likely to raise for CRY. So, don’t be afraid to spread the word, post on social media, hang posters in your local area, and ask local businesses if they will take a flyer or two.
• Raffles are a popular and fun way of raising a little extra money, even better if you use some of your bakes as prizes. 
• Hold a baking competition between friends and family, or colleagues – make it a fundraiser by asking for a £2 donation per entry.
• Set up an online fundraising page for easy donations during your event, and people who can’t make it can still donate to your efforts.
• Register your event with us and receive a pack with posters, invitations, bunting and more materials to get you set for success.
