Cakes4Kindness Day returns for the 2nd year

Cake4Kindness Day returns for the 2nd year – Get Involved

Many of us want to help to make a difference to others but don’t know where to start. Cake4Kindness is a simple way to make that difference without needing to raise a penny. Bake a cake, pass it on, spread the kindness -that’s all it takes

21st November 2024 will mark Cake4Kindness Day with its vision to alleviate loneliness and social isolation for those experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable groups, through the distribution of cakes.

Cake4Kindness Day 2024 is a day to come together and bake in your community, with friends, family, work colleagues and through conscious giving donate those bakes with local homeless charities to build local relationships whilst helping to create a more inclusive, kinder and supportive community.

Last year for Cake4Kindness Day, the first Cake4Kindness Day the initiative saw many businesses including care homes, schools and other organisations take part, baking cupcakes and decorating them as a team, then choosing a local homeless charity or food bank to distribute them to as an act of giving, with over 1400 cupcakes distributed on this day.

This year the organiser of the initiative wishes to double the outreach within our community with your help, and invites you to join in.

Neel Radia, Founder for Cake4Kindness said “Homeless people experience some of the highest rates of loneliness and isolation amongst the UK population and lack the companionship that many of us take for granted. Our community project works in bringing people together to bake together, and through conscious giving share what we bake with those experiencing homelessness.

It’s incredible to see how something as small as a cupcake, something that we take for granted can make such a positive impact for the individual receiving it and how this helps to generate conversation.

Cake4Kindness Day has been set up to allow others across the community to get involved and support charities more local to them, so together we can make more connections, and spread more kindness together”.
This year Cake4Kindness Day has received support from industry partners including, EF-Group, Avery Collection, Oyster Care Homes, TLC Care Group, Signature Dining and Raj Foods.
