Our October half-term fundraiser saw some fantastic bake sales take place across the city in support of YMCA Exeter’s work with local young people.
A few highlights of the week were our friends at Exeter City Living raising an incredible £184 at their staff team social event. Local Estate Agents, Wilkinson Grant, kindly contributed a further £100 donation – a bake sale total of £284!
Our Exwick Community team brought the Big Bake Cake Sale to the Exwick Parish Church as part of ‘Friday Friendship’; our free community group supporting young families. We heard the chocolate cake went down well, and the team raised £100 across just one morning.
Finally, a group of residents enjoyed baking flapjacks and brownies at the Lighthouse Café, our resident and staff café space at St David’s Hill. Hilary Bush, our Fundraising, Resource & Communications Manager said, “It was great to see a team of our St David’s Hill residents baking and fundraising with us”.
A huge thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and got baking to make a difference! The money raised will help us to continue enabling young people to belong, contribute and thrive in Exeter.
