SIR – The ever-popular National Doughnut Week is fast approaching and I would like to make a special appeal to independent craft bakers and coffee shops across the UK to sign-up for this fun, annual charity event, which takes place from May 10 to 17, in aid of The Children’s Trust.
This year, The Children’s Trust celebrates its 30th anniversary so please help to make National Doughnut Week – now in its 23rd year – the most successful ever. In 2013, £26,500 was raised through doughnut sales from participating businesses, so we would really like to beat this figure.
The general public can also help us to achieve this, by buying family, friends and work colleagues a delicious doughnut treat from bakers and coffee shops displaying National Doughnut Week posters. So, whoever and wherever you are, please get involved in this great event and help make a difference to some very special children.
For fundraising ideas, doughnut facts, and to register your vote for the UK’s favourite doughnut, visit: thechildrenstrust.org.uk/doughnuts or facebook/nationaldoughnutweek.
Phil Tufnell, Vice-President, The Children’s Trust
