The Great Saving Lives Bake-Off is simple: find a group of bakers, make some amazingly sweet things … and raise some money for Saving Lives. We like to think of it as having your cake and eating it!

Birmingham Heartlands HIV Service’s Hawthorn House has already joined in, baking some brilliant looking cakes and raising money for Saving Lives in the process. Why not join them? Whether at your workplace, with your friends and family, or amongst one of your community groups,  the Great Saving Lives Bake-Off is all about getting together to have fun for charity.

The easiest way to take part might be to visit our Virgin Money Giving page, click ‘Start Fundraising’ and set up  a ‘personal challenge’ for the bake-off in your area. We suggest you ask all participants to donate £2 or whatever they wish to enter, and then sell the cakes after the contest, donating whatever proceeds you make to the charity.
