Appearing on last year’s Great British Bake Off changed my life. Baking is my passion and today I am challenging budding bakers across the country to get baking for a great cause, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH).
The charity is encouraging bakers to hold a bake sale to raise vital dough for Bake it Better Week (October 19-25). The money raised will make a huge difference to young patients and families from across the UK, helping to give some of the sickest children the best chance for life.
You can host your bake sale at work, school, or with family and friends - it couldn’t be easier. Don’t worry if you produce a soggy bottom or two, Mary and Paul won’t be there to judge!
Get inspired at www.bakeitbetter.org, where you can find recipes from patients, hospital staff and celebrities (including my very own). You can even get your hands on bunting, cake toppers and posters as well as baking-themed games and top tips to give your bake sake a boost.
Best of all the, money you raise through bake sales will enable Great Ormond Street Hospital to provide world-class care for young patients and their families by contributing to the rebuilding of the hospital, supporting ground-breaking research; funding the most up-to-date equipment and providing accommodation and other support services for children and their families.
Rise to the challenge, and take part in GOSH’s Bake it Better Week. On your marks, get set... bake!
