The ‘Builders’ Bake Off’ is one of several fundraising activities that took place as part of Covers’ Help for Hospices week, to support hospice charities across the South East. Proceeds from the competition will contribute to the final fundraising target of over £30,000, which will be split between the 11 hospices.
Rupert Green, chairman at Covers, said: “We had dozens of entries for this year’s Builders’ Bake Off so it was certainly a tough competition! Congratulations to all our winning bakers and thank you to everyone who supported us and helped to raise vital funds for these exceptional charities.”
The ‘Grand Raffle’ prize draw, which includes top prizes of a £500 Covers Home Improvements voucher, will take place on Friday, October 13.
