I’M writing to call on readers to get out the aprons, wooden spoons and mixing bowls to help this year’s annual Bake for Heroes campaign.

So far, supporters of all ages and all around the UK have cooked up more than £850,000 for Help for Heroes since Bake for Heroes began in 2009.

This year we’re hoping to top the £1 million mark.

The ingredients for success are simple – supporters simply sign up for a free fundraising pack through H4H to bake cupcakes, sponges, biscuits, flapjacks or whatever tasty treat they fancy, and sell them off to colleagues, family and friends.

All money raised goes to H4H supporting wounded, injured and sick personnel, veterans and their loved ones.

The Bake for Heroes campaign runs between April 15 and April 30.

Funds will support the work of Help for Heroes and their four recovery centres, which have been purpose-built and support around 4,000 people every year.
