Looking for a way to fundraise at work, home or in your community? Why not host a bake sale in the name of dementia research? Ask your colleagues or friends to bake a sweet or savoury treat, pick a date and location to host your sale, and collect donations for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Your baking can help to bring us one step closer to a cure.
Take a look at our top tips for hosting your own bake sale.
Fill out the form below to let our fundraising team know that you’re planning an event. We can’t wait to hear from you and help with your fundraising!
Choose a date and venue:
Pick a date that works for you and secure a location – your garden, office, or local community centre are just a few options!
Get planning:
Plan your baking menu, or ask your colleagues or friends to bake some goods to be sold – cookies, cakes, brownies, and more! Consider dietary restrictions and allergies.
Our top tips
Utilise social media, local bulletin boards, and word of mouth to promote your event.
Create eye-catching posters highlighting your cause.
Decide on reasonable prices and encourage larger donations by offering the option to contribute without purchasing.
Be ready to discuss your cause.
Inform your guests about dementia and the impact of their contributions.
Take cash donations and pay them in yourself via our website or consider setting up a JustGiving page for your bake sale for people to easily donate straight to us.
You can set up your JustGiving page here.
Send thank-you notes or messages to all who participated and made a difference.
Decorate your space
Set up an inviting table with colourful decorations, clear pricing labels, and information about the cause.
You can find posters and other assets on our resource’s hub here.
You are not required to hold a food hygiene certificate to prepare and sell food at charity events, but safe food handling is essential to protect consumers from potential illness, allergies, or injury.
Follow these simple guidelines:
Use a Trusted Recipe and List Allergens: Choose recipes from reputable sources and ensure all allergens are listed in the ingredients.
Practice Good Hygiene: Always wash your hands before handling food and ensure all surfaces, bowls, utensils, and equipment are clean.
Storage and Transport: Store and transport cakes in clean, airtight containers, separate from raw foods and other potential sources of contamination. Don’t forget to refrigerate cheesecakes, as well as cakes or desserts with fresh cream to maintain safety and freshness.
