We hope all of our local families are well and safe during this difficult time. We are aware families may be facing more strain then ever and we would love to be able to help with birthday cakes at this time, unfortunately we cannot risk the safety of both our volunteers and the families by using contact deliveries. However, we do have a very modest donation pot, available for a small supermarket voucher which you can use for a birthday cake. If you are struggling, You can ask any local family service to refer you by just giving them our contact details and asking them to refer you. We can be reached at [email protected] or 07402172958.

Look out soon for a name change and some other exciting changes, just as soon as its safe to do so!

💫💫💫NOMINATE A FAMILY💫💫💫

EDIT**** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

DUE TO A REALLY GENEROUS AND WONDERFUL ANON DONATION, WE NOW HAVE MONEY TO GIFT TWO FAMILIES A £50 TESCO VOUCHER EACH IN TIME FOR XMAS! Thankyou so much!

Honestly you guys are all super amazing and continue to remind me there is so much good in the world! Please continue to share and tag, so we can share these two gifts!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After some pretty disappointing election results, it's been so inspiring to come onto social media and see so many local and nationwide people with very little to give, turning their sad feelings into something positive by pledging to help someone vulnerable by donating to a charity or volunteering.

In this spirit, I would also like to turn sad feelings into something positive for someone else

due to a generous donation we have a £25 tesco voucher to give away.

We have decided to double the value of that donation by adding funds from our donation pot, and we would really like to be able to give a family £50 worth of tesco shopping vouchers, maybe to go toward food and treats for christmas.

If you are feeling the strain of Christmas please feel free to nominate your own family in the comments, OR if you know a family you think deserve the vouchers, that need a pick me up or some Xmas treats, please nominate them by tagging them in the comments.

*you do not need to leave personal circumstances in the comments, we are not here to decide if you are worthy or not, everyone is worthy! *

ANON NOMINATIONS: I have had lots of requests from people to make anon nominations for families who might not wish to be tagged. If you would like to make an anon nomination, please comment below with 'anon nomination' so we can give you a number in the draw, and then inbox us with the family name or details so we are able to contact them if they win.

I will number each nomination, and draw a number NEXT SAT 21st, giving you enough time to collect the vouchers and use them for Christmas!

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST SO WE CAN HELP TREAT A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS!

*torridge area nominations only please they won't arrive by post in time to use for christmas*

Got a big thankyou to our volunteer Judith who worked so hard to donate so much cake last week!

The first cake went to a special 6 year old girl, who had not had the opportunity to have a birthday celebration before.

Her cupcakes went towards a family fundraiser in south molton where family and friends raised £931.40 for Karina, and for Cancer research UK.

We really hope both cakes were enjoyed and made everyone smile!

Thankyou Judith for helping make a difference to two families with your beautiful cakes. 💙

Amazing cake from new volunteer Myka and a toy donation from a lovely family, the cost of this cake was also kindly donated by Wooda Surgery in Bideford! Isn't it cool! We even managed to get hold of some dairy free cakes so a sibling could join in the celebrations 😊 we hope the family had a lovely day! 💙

Two awesome cakes have gone out this week, one by our volunteer Kimberly for period project-north Devon who help supply local communities with free period products for young women and girls, check out those teeny tiny cupcake tampons! Such an important project ❤️ Kimberly puts so much love and thought into these cakes! And another for our lovely Evin who we have been supplying a Mario cake to every year for a while now! Don't forget, if your circumstances remain the same, you can apply every birthday! We adore making cakes for him and it wouldn't be the same without a yearly Mario request! This was made by our volunteer Judith, her first donation to the project, and I think it's amazing!

WHAT WE DO:

🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

We offer free birthday cakes to local children facing difficult circumstances, this could be anything, from homes with money troubles, serious illness, maybe they are a young carer, or face challenges every day with disabilities, maybe a sibling has been in hospital. If a child is in need or a family has had a tough time, and parent or carer needs a weight lifted, we are here to try and help. Just ask, or you can ask a local service you use to be referee and organise it for you.

We can sometimes also supply local children focused services or groups/schools with fundraising cakes. Again we are open to enquiries 💙

LOOKING FOR HELP- I would like to raise a little bit of money for our Free Cakes for Kids service, specifically so we can buy reusable kids party ware that we can loan out to families in need, not only reducing the cost of the celebrations for them and lifting a little of that weight, but also combatting the problem of party waste by avoiding buying single use plastic and paper party items. (I'll even take the items back unwashed so you still won't have to wash up!)

I would love to run a small Facebook raffle/auction just to cover a little of the cost, if any local businesses have anything they could donate id be extremely grateful as would the families we provide to!

Thanks for reading

Would it be useful to our families if we invested in purchasing themed reusable party wear? That you could hire for a very small deposit (under £5) not only would this reduce waste, but would be a more affordable party wear option for you! Let me know what you think!
