We had an absolutely brilliant day as we held a bake sale at Stepney Banks Stables in Ouseburn.
We raised a massive total of £101.50 for East End Women Foodbank (who we have previously helped out) Based in Walker, they do amazing work helping out those in need including families and children with donations of food, emergency parcels and toiletries.
The teamwork was brilliant, everyone got slightly emotional and there were hugs as people were so generous. Thank you to everyone who donated either money, foodbank items or cakes to sell.
Special thank you and kudos
• Tanya, Debbie, Krishti, Michael, Liz and Lucy for your help
