Yesterday our fundraiser Sarah went to Leicestershire Constabulary to collect a £600 donation that they raised as result of a cake sale every Wednesday for the last six months.
Detective Sergeant Richard Wright has been a supporter of DSUK for many years and is an adaptive qualified instructor, volunteering out at the Tamworth local group every month. It was his brainchild to set up an easy way of fundraising for the charity by selling cakes. Along with the helping hands of PC Sarah Hogan’s mum baking all the cakes, the cake sale has been a huge success!
Richard comments “For the past 6 months we have been holding ‘Cake Wednesdays’ every week, selling a variety of cakes to officers and staff based at Euston Street, Leicester. During that time we have raised a total of £600 due to the generosity of those officers and staff.”
Thank you to all at Leicestershire Constabulary for their sweet teeth!
