On Monday 5th August, ROC proudly supported the Children and Young People’s Department (CYPD) with a ‘cake-tacular’ fundraiser!

This delightful event was organised with the goal of raising funds to purchase Christmas gifts for young patients over the 2024 Christmas period, to bring a touch of joy and a welcome distraction during their hospital appointments.  

Thanks to the generous support of our hospital staff and wider community, the cake sale was a tremendous success! We were delighted with the generous donations, ranging from elegant afternoon tea boxes to yummy brownies and a mouth watering selection of cakes including chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, carrot and more! Thanks to these delicious treats, we raised an impressive total of £385! 

A huge thank you to the following businesses for their generous donations: 

• Becketts Farm 

• The Barn At Berryfields 

• Starbucks Northfield 

• Sophie’s Spoonful of Sugar 

And a special shoutout to our fantastic ROH staff for their homemade bakes: 

• Suzanne Pugh 

• Suzanne Leach 

• Anette McDonagh 

• Sarah Broadhurst 

• Marie Squire

A special thank you goes to Marie Squire, one of our ROCstars (Charity Ambassadors), who led the initiative with incredible enthusiasm. Marie’s hard work, combined with the support of our amazing donors, made this event a ‘treat’ to remember.
