PEOPLE are being invited to support an appeal to raise funds for a brand new day hospice for East Devon by coming along to a huge bake sale at Taylor Wimpey’s Cranbrook development in Exeter.

The Great Cranbrook Bake Sale will take place on Saturday April 12 from 10am to midday in the Sales Information Centre at Cranbrook, off London Road, and will raise money for Hospiscare’s East Devon Day Hospice appeal.

Local people can come along and feast on cakes made by staff from Taylor Wimpey, local residents at Cranbrook and staff at Hospiscare, while refreshments supplied by the leading housebuilder will also be available.

Janine Copleston, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We’re really looking forward to hosting The Great Cranbrook Bake Sale and we’d like to invite local people to pop by and join us to enjoy a delicious cake or two.

“Not only will visitors get the chance to sample the tasty treats on offer, but by coming along to the sale they will also be helping to raise vital funds towards providing a brand new day hospice for East Devon.”

Hospiscare is working to raise £250,000 to help build and run a new state-of-the-art day hospice in East Devon to provide care for thousands of local people.

The new hospice will be in Kings Road, Honiton, and by raising £250,000, Hospiscare will have enough funding to complete the project and cover the running costs for two years.

Sarah Smith, Appeal Fundraiser for Hospiscare, says: “The money raised from this event will make a real difference to our East Devon Appeal. We are very grateful to Taylor Wimpey for their support. The opportunity to have a cup of tea and homemade cake whilst raising money for your local hospice charity is a great idea.”
