Over on the books site today I've posted information about The Big Readcycle - donating books to Marie Curie - so it's appropriate that here we mention another fundraising initiative, this one cake-related.
Leonard Cheshire Disability are asking for people to Give & Bake, that is gather together a few friends or colleagues, have them bake something delicious to bring along, then put on the kettle and make a donation to LCD while you enjoy all the treats.
If you're a member of a book group or similar you could designate a meeting to Give & Bake and sweeten the book talk with a slice or two of cake, or brighten up the morning coffee break at work with some delicious morsels in aid of a good cause. Follow the link above for full details, and Michael Caines's carrot cake recipe.
Thank you for the heads-up on the Marie Curie book collection. Dropped off hundreds of books at our nearest WHSmith where they tried to press on me a 25% voucher for each book! I declined. Their target was only 50 books so I hope they get a pat on the back for collecting well over that amount.
