Bakers get in the mix for fund day
The Shropshire Big Bake takes place later this month and cooks around the county are getting their mixing bowls at the ready.
It promises to be one of the region’s most competitive baking competitions when it is judged at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust’s Charity Fun Day on July 22.
Entry is free, although donations will be welcomed, and all the cakes will be sold during the Charity Fun Day – which will take place at the Shropshire Conference Centre at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) from 12noon until 4.30pm – in aid of the Trust’s Live Well With Dementia Appeal.
Patients, visitors, staff and people from across the local community are encouraged to show off their culinary skills and enter the competition.
Clare Walsgrove, matron and organiser of the Shropshire Big Bake, said: “Simply choose your own theme, flavours and toppings for a chance to win this fabulous competition. It is a great opportunity to do something fun for an excellent cause. “The Live Well With Dementia Appeal is a really good reason to get involved and raise some money for, as it will provide a number of benefits for patients to improve ward and outpatient departments so that they are dementia-friendly.”
The judging for the Shropshire Big Bake will begin at 12noon where a special guest will award prizes and certificates to the winners.
Registration for the competition closes on July 15.

Julia Clarke, director of corporate governance at SaTH, said: “Our hospitals are a big part of the local community and following the successes of last year’s Fun Day we wanted to make the event bigger and better for all the family. “We encourage as many people as possible to come on site and enjoy the number of exciting activities whilst also getting the chance to learn about what we do and the healthy messages we promote.”
