Whether it's cakes, cookies, muffins or croissants, baking something delicious for others to enjoy feels good. It’s even more rewarding when you’re doing it to raise money for a worthy cause like Joint Action.
How do I get started?
- Pick a date and send invites out nice and early.
- Ask guests to donate per item, or set a price to attend your bake sale.
- Collect cash and/or set up a Facebook or JustGiving page so your guests can donate online. You can also create and print off a QR code for your JustGiving page so guests straight to the page on their smartphones. Visit JustGiving for more information on how to do this.
- Add a competitive element with a bake-off!
- Remember: shop-bought treats are fine too if you're not a keen baker. And always list the ingredients of whatever you bake, for those with allergies/specific dietary requirements.
