BAKE FOR BARNARDO'S!
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We have decided to raise some money for Barnardo's by having some fun, and doing some baking! Our target is £250, so please donate what you can. Every pound counts towards helping this amazing charity, especially during such tough times. Everything donated here goes straight to the charity so we thought this would be an effective and easy way to fundraise.
We have decided to bake and then nominate three friends to bake something, and hopefully the chain goes on!
Why Barnardo's?
"I have seen the impact this virus has had on people, and for me personally I have always had a real desire to help people in need. We hope that by taking the time to fundraise, this small act of kindness will be a step in the right direction and will encourage others to do the same. I am starting off by baking some chocolate brownies!" - Jocelyn
"We’ve decided to fundraise for Barnardo’s because it’s a great way to keep everyone connected and also helps vulnerable children during these uncertain times. We want to help Barnardo’s because we both volunteer at their retail store in Danestone and since we’re not able to go in the store and help due to Covid-19, we want to help in another way (from the safety of our own homes, of course)! And, we both love baking! My first bake will be a banana loaf." - Charlotte
Below we have included some information about Barnardo's and the amazing work they do every day, as well as some information about their Covid-19 Crisis Appeal.
We will also post updates of our bakes and any other pictures we get from friends so we can share everyone creations!
Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.
P.S. Lexy from the Danestone store has helped set up this page incase you're wondering why her name is on it! :)
The Covid-19 Crisis Appeal
As fundraising events have been cancelled and our 700 retail shops have had to close, we have already lost a third of our monthly income. We are working flat out to ensure that we continue to provide essential food and support to children and families. But we need your help to keep going. Please donate today to help support the children who need us most. Our doors may be closed, but our vital services continue. We will do everything in our power to support the vulnerable children and their families, who are facing one of the greatest challenges of their lives.
About Barnardo's
At Barnardo’s we believe in children – no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through. We will ensure their needs are met and their voices are heard.
This belief started with our pioneering founder, Thomas Barnardo, who stood up for the most vulnerable children in society. We continue to fight for the UK’s most vulnerable children to realise his dream of a world where no child is turned away.
