🖤🩷 DEAD GOOD GIVING 🩷🖤

As we head towards the ‘Ber months, my mind always starts turning to Christmas, our local community & the charities that need that little bit of extra support as the colder months creep in.
So I want Fatal Bakehouse to do a little more.

From 1st September, every two weeks on a Tuesday, we’ll be choosing a local charity or good cause to receive a donation funded by sales from our cake sheds from those two weeks.

It might only be a small contribution each time, but those small amounts soon add up and my goal is to donate at least £500 to local charities and good causes between September and December

Then from 10th Nov, Christmas giving begins!🎁

From this date, our Dead Good Giving donations will go towards Manchester Christmas Relief, a registered charity I founded to help local families at Christmas with Christmas dinner parcels and brand-new toys for children and young people.
And our Giving Tree will be returning to the cake sheds!

Just like last year, you'll be able to scan the QR code on our Giving Tree and make a donation towards our Christmas appeal while you're visiting the sheds.

But this year, I want to make it go even further... For every £10 donated through our Giving Tree QR code, Fatal Bakehouse will add another £2
So if you lovely lot donate £100, we'll add £20.
If you donate £500, we'll add £100 and if we manage to raise £1,000, Fatal Bakehouse will add another £200 this is on top of the weekly sales donation over that period.

Let's see just how much we can raise together.

Running a small business isn't always easy and its tough on alot of us at the moment but I really believe that when our community supports us, we should try to give some of that support back.

Every cake, brownie and cookie you pick up from our sheds over the next few months will be helping us do a little bit of good along the way.

I'll keep you updated with each charity we support, how much we've donated and our Dead Good Giving grand total at the end of the year.

Dead Good Cakes.
Dead Good Deeds.
Dead Good Giving.
