How to Organise your Bake Sale

Choose your venue

See above - As long as there will be people who like cake you can hold your event almost anywhere!

Choose your date

World Mental Health Day is 10th October, however we know busy diaries mean a Friday could be tricky. We are encouraging our bakers to set a date at any time in October. It also gives you more time to gather your bakers and cake fans!

Recruit some colleagues to bake and / or a local baker to donate.

Tell everyone! Use our posters to let everyone know when and where. Whatsapp, emails, social media, your work intranet, local notice boards are all great ways to advertise your event

Get baking!

Set up and have some fun!

Share your photos on social media and remember to tag us! @chasingstigma

Supporting your Baking

Get in touch to let us know you are planning a Cake Bake and we'll send you special posters, cake cards and cake flags designed for you to print at home or the office! Just email Rebecca@chasingthestigma.co.uk

Fundraising

Set up your fundraising page in advance so that you can have a QR code printed on the day for people to scan and donate to - this helps you collect donations from those without cash. A fundraising page also means those who can't be there on the day can still be part of it!

Just go to Bake it Happen this October for Chasing the Stigma! - JustGiving and click 'Start Fundraising' to set up your page in a few simple steps.

Visit Fundraising Page

Make sure you have a pot to collect cash on the day too. When your sale is ended and you've counted it together, just get in touch and we'll let you know how you can donate it into us.

Thank You So Much for Your Support and Happy Baking!
