INFO: Free Cakes For Kids, Salisbury
Why? At the heart of every Free Cakes for Kids volunteer group is the feeling that every child deserves a birthday cake. A chance to create a memory that will always be remembered.
What? Free Cakes for Kids Salisbury matches up two parties: families who find it difficult to provide a birthday cake for their child due problems with finances, ill health or other difficult circumstances and passionate bakers in the local community who enjoy making themed cakes in their own kitchens. As the cakes are homemade the volunteers can often accommodate the child’s favourite flavour or theme. Examples include football themes, cartoon characters and pretty princess styled cakes.
How? Families can call themselves or are referred to the local volunteer coordinator by a partnering organisation. Local groups aim to build strong networks in their communities and work closely with organisations like the young carers, food banks and social services as well as asking for the support from local businesses for donations, cake ingredients and other useful bits such as cake boxes, tins and cake decorations.
Also: Community and charity baking- While individual birthday cakes are what matters most to us, many groups have built close ties in their communities and have become integral parts of the social infrastructure. They organise cake sales for local children’s charities, design celebration cakes for children centres and set up hands-on community baking sessions for clubs, young mums and everyone who wants to learn more about baking.
We want to make a difference….. One cake at a time!
