Bake for Hope
Bake Today. Bring Hope Tomorrow.
On your marks, get set… BAKE! It’s time to test your baking skills with our brand-new campaign!
2026 is full of incredible birthday milestones! Not only is Velindre Cancer Charity turning 30, but Velindre Cancer Services marks it’s 70th year and the Welsh Blood Service turns 80. Bake for Hope is more than just putting your feet up with a slice of cake – it’s a celebration of the immeasurable difference we’ve made over the decades and a chance to layer hope for the future. So, roll up your sleeves, whisk up some magic, and let’s make a difference together!
Start small
Create some truly sweet memories by whipping up a few family favourites and selling them to your loved ones. It’s the perfect excuse to catch up over a slice of cake and a cuppa!
Inspire others
Showcase your baking talents to your friends and colleagues by hosting your very own bake sale or afternoon tea. Nothing brightens up the week like a sweet treat on a Friday!
Go the extra mile
Compete for the title of Star Baker by hosting a bake off competition as a family, school, or business. Are your creations worthy of a Paul Hollywood handshake? Time to find out!
With a dusting of hope, a sprinkle of celebration, and a pinch of community, we truly will be baking a difference to cancer services across Wales.
Whether you bake to celebrate a birthday milestone, in loving memory of someone, or as a way to connect and strengthen your community, every bake shares hope, one slice at a time.
You will receive:
- Dedicated support from our Fundraising Team, designed to take your Bake for Hope fundraiser to next level
- A physical fundraising pack – including Bake for Hope stickers, build-your-own donation boxes, flags, cake toppers, and balloons
- Exclusive access to our online digital resources – including recipe cards, certificates, sign up sheets, and more
The power of your support
For every £10 raised, we provide a family with a children’s book and two lion teddies to support and comfort children and families going through cancer. Click on the bubbles to find out more about the families you are impacting.
