Weston General Hospital invites people to Give a Hand and Bake for charity

Weston General Hospital is holding a bake sale on Thursday 26 October to support the Stroke Association’s latest fundraising initiative: Give a Hand and Bake.

Give a Hand and Bake calls on people across the South West to host their own bake sale, all with the aim of raising some serious dough. The money raised will help fund world-leading research that will help to save lives and change the story for stroke survivors.

This year, thousands of people across the UK will be donning their aprons for Give a Hand and Bake Week, which runs from 23 to 29 October 2017.

Among them will be staff from Weston General Hospital’s Stroke Unit, who are rolling up their sleeves, grabbing a mixing bowl and baking to raise vital funds for stroke survivors.

Verity Aldous, Stroke Recovery Coordinator at the Stroke Association, said: “Across the UK, more than a million people are rebuilding their lives after stroke. By taking part in Give a Hand and Bake, you could help people who have been affected by stroke get their lives back on track.
