This May, we celebrated World Baking Day, encouraging supporters to participate and share their love of baking while raising funds for Mencap. The response was truly amazing, with many passionate bakers showcasing their skills and spreading joy through their delicious baked treats.

A huge shout out to our Supporter of the Month, Siu Hei, Trevor, Sofia and Rowan! They organised an incredible bake sale on Sunday 18 May. Their table was brimming with delicious scones, cakes and banana bread. Thanks to their hard work, they raised an impressive £240 for Mencap!

"We loved supporting them with our free baking resources and enjoyed hearing all about their cake sale. We are truly grateful for their fantastic support of Mencap and fundraising efforts!"
