Plan your Bake and Brew
Next, consider where you will hold your Bake and Brew. Here are a few ideas:
- Host at home - invite your friends and family to your home or garden, for sweet treats, a buffet lunch, or a full-blown feast.
- Whip up your workplace – make your break time with colleagues one to remember, with cuppas, cookies and cake to support Maggie's.
- Community groups – if you are in a sports team, religious community, or organisation, why not hold an event there and bake to make a difference!
Boost your fundraising at your Bake and Brew
There are many ways you can boost your fundraising at your Bake and Brew. For example:
- Why not hold a raffle on the day? People love the chance to win something exciting! Ask around in your local community for prize donations and sell raffle tickets on the day.
- A simple game such as Guess the Number of Sweets in the Jar or Guess the weight of the cake. These are easy to organise and always a hit with guests - fun, interactive and great for raising a few extra pounds.
- Ask your friends and family if there is anything you can do for them and in return they can make a donation towards your fundraising. These can be whatever you're happy to offer – call round their house with a cuppa, cook them a meal or proof read their essay – the possibilities are endless.
