Call to get baking to raise vital funds for children

The NSPCC Littleborough District committee is calling on people to take part in ‘The Great Bakery Competition’ on Saturday 29 June to raise vital funds to support children and young people.

The event will be held from 9am - 4:30pm at the Littleborough Cricket Club, Denhurst Road, Littleborough, OL15 9LD.

There will be plenty of opportunity to show off your skills, with a choice of 12 baking classes for cakes and bread to enter into.

Entrance fees for all classes are £1.00 per entry and entries must be delivered between 9am – 10:30am.

Judging will take place between 10:30am – 12noon, with a prize giving at 2:30pm.

Pick up a baking schedule from shops across Littleborough including George Kelsall Book Shop, Littleborough Coach House, 66 Church Street and Classy Cakes and get baking.

Throughout the day there will also be food stalls, face painting, tombola and raffle, NSPCC cake stall and a children’s cake decoration stall. The judging panel will also be on hand to answer your baking queries.

Deborah Sefton, NSPCC community fundraising manager said: “The Great Bakery Competition promises to be a fun day for entrants, family and friends, so why not get involved and get baking for the NSPCC.

"We’d really love to local community come together to support the competition and help the NSPCC raise more money to help vulnerable and abused children across the region.”

The money raised from the baking competition will help the NSPCC to save, change and improve the lives of children through its local community services, a helpline for adults worried about a child and ChildLine – the UK’s free, confidential 24-hour helpline and online service dedicated to children and young people.
