Nelson’s Journey is inviting schools, businesses, community groups and families across Norfolk to get baking as part of its new fundraising campaign
The campaign, running from 6th – 19th July, encourages supporters to get together and host bake sales, coffee mornings, and cake-themed events to raise funds for bereaved children and young people supported by the charity.
It says, "We’ve created this campaign as bereavement affects our mental health and wellbeing, and by coming together and hosting a Bake a Difference event and talking with your family, friends and colleagues, you can help open these, often difficult but important, conversations.
"Participants can take part however they choose – whether that’s by organising a bake sale, hosting a coffee morning, or a bake-off. The campaign aims to bring people together while raising awareness of childhood bereavement and the importance of support."
Karen from Jarrold Training recently hosted a bake sale, “Our fabulous cake and bake sales are always welcomed by our delegates and neighbouring businesses.
"It’s always a treat to indulge in the creations of our talented bakers, whilst raising much-needed funds for Nelson’s Journey and sharing lots of great conversations too.”
Rosie Bailey, Funding and Marketing Officer from Nelson’s Journey, adds, “Such a lovely way to bring people together whilst supporting Nelson’s Journey.
"It’s been great to see everyone getting involved already, having fun and raising money that will make a real difference to bereaved children and young people across Norfolk.”
Funds raised through Bake a Difference will help the charity continue delivering services, including one-to-one support, therapeutic activities and activity weekends.
