It’s time to pull your pinny on and get the mixing bowls out of the cupboard. Our fun and tasty fundraiser, Bake for Hens’ Sake, is just like taking part in the Great British Bake Off – but without the pressure of Paul and Prue’s judging!

In our bake sale fundraising pack, you’ll receive:
- Recipe cards to inspire your own creations
- Posters to set up around your stall and let people know what you’re fundraising for
- Some yummy cake toppers
- Place cards for your delicious display
- A Guess the Egg games sheet
In April we opened our garden as part of the NGS (National Garden Scheme) all the money raised selling teas and cakes went to BHWT.
The process was very easy, a simple bank transfer after our opening, a total of nearly £600!
It was so important to us that visitors could see our 7 rescue hens and 1 cockerel, using their amazing free range eggs to bake over 12 cakes and 50 scones!
I have rescued and supported BHWT for a number of years, it is a fabulous charity that supports and sets up ex battery girls for their retirement years!
Help to make your bake sale a success
- Order our free fundraising pack to help your stall stand out!
- Spread the word: use social media, posters, local noticeboards, community magazines etc.
- Consider choosing a theme to inspire your bakers, e.g. the Platinum Jubilee, Halloween or Easter, or around a colour, or make treats based around one key ingredient.
- Make it fun – could you turn it into a competition with family, friends, or colleagues for who’s the fastest to sell out of cakes?
- Include other games, such as a raffle or guess the number of chocolate chips in a cookie jar. You could even ask a local business to donate a prize.

PS got spare eggs?
If somehow you haven’t whipped, flipped and baked all your eggs into tasty creations for your bake sale, we’ve got another fundraiser for you. Our Egg Club raises money through selling surplus eggs – think of it as hens helping hens.
