We’re no strangers to raising money for the fantastic Forever Manchester, having competed in their 7-a-side football tournament previously. When the opportunity came up to take part in fundraising for them again, we couldn’t pass it up and took part in this year’s October Cheer Fest.
Instead of a one-day event, we held our Great Venditan Bake Off throughout the entire month of October. This gave more people a chance to take part, and more money to be raised. Members of the Venditan team spent the month making or buying bakes of all kinds, bringing them in for the rest of the team to buy. The idea was well-received – I mean, who wouldn’t love a month of cake?! – and we had 9 people take part by bringing in an array of delicious bakes; brownies, cakes, cookies, pies and even some French and Polish delicacies!
Thanks to everyone who took part, baked, bought and ate – not only did we have a great time and eat some delicious bakes, but we raised a fantastic £151.73 for a brilliant cause.
Everyone did a dazzling job, some even worthy of a Hollywood Handshake, as you can see below!
