For the people we support in their homes in Lanarkshire, one of the highlights of July is our annual Great Garden Bake Off, which brings together the people we support, their families, friends and staff for a fantastic day of fun, laughter and, of course, plenty of delicious baking!
This year, everyone embraced the friendly competition, arriving with an amazing selection of homemade cakes, traybakes, biscuits and sweet treats, all hoping to be crowned this year's Star Baker. The standard was incredibly high, making it a very difficult job for our judges Drew, Anita and their daughter Zara who live next to one of our services.
The judges decided that June’s fabulous carrot cake won 1st prize, Alison's chocolate gateau came in 2nd and Michelle's carrot cake came in 3rd. The “good effort but not quite there cake” was won by Lyndsey, who took it in great fun.
Thank you to everyone who came together, caught up with friends and families, enjoyed the sunshine and strengthened the sense of community that makes our service so special. An extra special huge thank you goes to everyone who baked, judged, helped organise the event and came along to support it. We're already looking forward to next year's competition!
