Businesses asked to take the Corporate Cake Challenge to support Heroes


Businesses are being called upon to get behind this year’s Bake for Heroes campaign by taking part in the Corporate Cake Challenge. Companies and organisations of all sizes are being asked to show their support for Help for Heroes by holding offi ce cake sales during Bake for Heroes fortnight, which runs from April 15 to 30, 2017. They can simply hold a bake sale at their workplace to raise funds for Help for Heroes (H4H) – but those who are feeling particularly creative are invited to have a go at creating their company logo or name in cake form. Company creations can be shared on Facebook via facebook.com/bakeforheroes or on Twitter using the hashtag #bakeforheroes.


Once they’ve been shared online, it’s time to share in person by asking colleagues, clients, customers and friends to buy a cake or slice to raise funds to support wounded, injured and sick Service Personnel, Veterans and their loved ones.


Bake for Heroes has the support of celebrity chef Rosemary Shrager, whose grandfather was in the Army. She said: “It’s lovely to be able to lend my support to a charity that is close to my heart.

Guests of the evening will dine on a four-course menu created by Martyn Watkins, executive chef at St David’s Hotel, using all-British and locally sourced ingredients where possible. Tickets to the exclusive fundraising dinner are priced at just £75 incl. VAT per person and will support The Clink’s ongoing commitments
