Whip up something delicious and help create an equal future with disabled people

A bake sale is a simple, fun way to raise money and bring people together. Whether you’re a star baker or just love a good cuppa and cake, your event will make a big difference.

What is a bake sale fundraiser?

It’s all about baking (or buying) tasty treats and selling them to raise funds for Scope. You can:

• Host a cake stall at work, school, or in your community.
• Organise a coffee morning with friends and family.
• Add extra fun with competitions like “best bake” or “guess the weight of the cake.”

How to fundraise for charity with a bake sale

1. Plan your event
   Pick a date, venue, and decide what you’ll bake. Think about dietary options and accessibility for guests (step‑free routes, accessible toilet) and community rates.
2. Set your fundraising goal
   Charge per slice, ask for donations, or run a raffle alongside your bake sale.
3. Spread the word
   Share posters, send invites, and promote your event on social media. Add a link to your fundraising page so people can donate even if they can’t attend.
4. Bake, sell, and enjoy
   Serve up your treats, collect donations, and celebrate the difference you’re making.

“Scope has made a huge difference in our lives, in the information that they've been able to provide us. The fact that it's all in one place is so amazing, because it's saved me a lot of time, to be honest, researching.”
