Gather round, we've got a mission on the horizon.
We all know it's good to talk. And by holding a Brew and Bake coffee morning or bake sale you can make a life-changing difference to a veteran whilst having a brew, some banter and a slice of cake.
The official Brew and Bake date is Thursday 27 June 2024 but you can host whenever you like.
Fundraising Packs will be sent from w/c 13 May 2024.

What’s the best way to smash my fundraising target?
Share, share, share! You will need to promote your Brew and Bake to get the best possible turnout. Create posts and leaflets that you can use to advertise in your local area and workplace. We have some templates you can us on our resources page. Make the most of social media and create an event on Facebook or promote it on the local community pages or company intranet. Try contacting your local newspaper and radio. The more you share, the more people will see it and therefore the better the turnout will be!
At the Brew and Bake, however you decide to do it, make sure that you're collecting donations in an obvious and prominent place.
