The UK’s leading end-of-life charity, Marie Curie, is inviting Dorset’s bakers to whip up some much-needed funds this autumn. Whether you’re a star baker or just discovering a passion for pastries, this is a chance to raise dough for a great cause while creating something delicious.
Upon signing up, participants will receive a special recipe pack featuring autumn-inspired bakes from chefs Melissa Hemsley, the Hairy Bikers and actor and author Fay Ripley. The pack also includes everything needed for a successful event, from posters and social media graphics to invitations and fundraising cards.
Fay Ripley, who’s supporting the campaign with her banana and chocolate loaf recipe, says, ‘Get baking with me! Marie Curie’s work in delivering expert care at the end of life is so important, and baking can be a sweet way to support this great cause.’
Kara Frampton, Marie Curie’s community fundraiser for Dorset, added, ‘As the nights draw in, baking could be a fun and tasty way to help us provide expert care and support at the end of life. Whether you host a bake-off with friends or simply hold a cake sale, your fundraising will ensure Marie Curie can continue its work in Dorset.’
Not a cancer charity, Marie Curie cares for people with any illness they are likely to die from. As well as providing hospice care and hospice at home care across the UK, Marie Curie has a free support line which is available to anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from and those close to them. It offers practical and emotional support on everything from symptom management and day-to-day care to financial information and bereavement support.
