This Christmas, you can enjoy your favourite treats and spread some festive cheer whilst helping raise funds to support older people in Shropshire. How? By organising a Jingle Bakes Christmas bake sale between 10-12 December!

Whether you’re a natural in the kitchen or a complete novice, we’d love for you to get involved. Big fan of gingerbread biscuits? Great, bake as many as you can and invite friends, family and colleagues to enjoy them. A dab hand at a yule log? Fabulous, why not make two? If baking really isn’t your thing, nip to the supermarket and cheat. Anyone can join in, whatever their age, from kids to grandparents and everyone in between!

Hold your Jingle Bakes sale at home, at work – wherever you want. Maybe help an older person feel a little less lonely by inviting your older friends and neighbours to a Jingle Bake and spread some Christmas cheer.

Encourage your guests to bring something too (all the better if it’s homemade) as every slice, every sliver, and every bite of every biscuit, every crunch and every munch means more funds for Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin to give local older people the support they need at Christmas, and beyond.
