THE ever popular National Doughnut Week is fast approaching and I would like to make a special appeal to independent craft bakers and coffee shops across the UK to sign-up for this fun, annual charity event.
National Doughnut Week, which is taking place from Saturday, May 9-16, is held in aid of The Children’s Trust, the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury. Since 2005, when The Children’s Trust became the chosen charity, an amazing £312,000 has been raised.
I also wish to make an appeal to the general public to get involved, by buying friends or work colleagues a delicious doughnut treat from bakers and coffee shops displaying National Doughnut Week posters.
Businesses and local community groups may wish to hold their own doughnut day to raise money and make a donation direct to The Children’s Trust. Everyone deserves a treat now and then so, whoever and wherever you are, please get involved and help make a difference to some very special children. Thank you.
