Cakes for Heroes is a nationwide not-for-profit organisation supporting very poorly children with custom made birthday and celebration cakes and one local baker from Grantham has just joined the team.
Tami Brown from Grantham, is a nurse and cake designer and has just jumped on board to help the Cakes For Heroes team both behind the scenes as well as offering her services to local poorly children.
Tami from Bumbles Cake Emporium told us “The charity cannot make these children better or take away their pain but they can help to create an everlasting memory with their families by providing them with a bespoke cake from one of our team. Since its launch CFH have recruited over 1,000 bakers across the UK and I am one of a small number in the Grantham area.”
Parents or Guardian’s are able to nominate a child to receive a cake for their Birthday via the CFH website. Once they receive it the nomination is checked for eligibility via the CFH Team. Once it has been given the thumbs up they then reach out to the database of fully registered Baker’s to find someone close to the child. The Baker then gets in touch with the family to confirm the date, time and design for the cake.
Cakes for Heroes is the brainchild of Joanne Howard from Hull, after she Experienced first-hand experience of the struggles that can face families touched by cancer after her son Jacob was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia when he was only five years old. During her son’s five-year battle, Joanne quickly realised that it was the brief moments of normality that helped keep the family positive and united. She recalls fondly the time that they were able to bring a smile to Jacob’s face with a special birthday cake, explaining that it was almost like time stood still for a moment, when they saw the joy on his face. It is Joanne’s hope that Cakes for Heroes will be able to deliver that joy to many more families across the UK who are dealing with critical illnesses and she is delighted to have Tami as part of the organisation.
Tami is excited to be able to start rolling out this scheme in the local area so If you know a child aged 0-17, that would benefit from a cake then please get in touch via the website or the Cakes For Heroes Facebook page.
