While raising money for The Children’s Trust, you will also reap the business rewards of getting involved. Once people are inside your shop, the opportunities for cross-selling products and impulse buying are clear.

Read what regular participants say: Coombs Quality Bakers, Leicester: “National Doughnut Week is an excellent event, which involves very little effort on the part of the baker but a lot of reward. We’ve been a regular participator and see the event not only as a fund-raiser but also as a way to boost our own profile and have some fun.”

Campbell’s Bakery, Crieff, Perthshire: “National Doughnut Week is an annual highlight for us and, as a one-stop operation, we are delighted with the success of the event. We decorate our shop in a big way, using the point-of-sale kits provided by the organisers and invite the press along too.”

How your money helps One of the most damaging effects of brain injury is to a child’s self-esteem. They have had no control over the event that has injured them and feel hopeless. Play therapy helps their confidence return, giving them the strength to re-learn skills essential in everyday life.
