For who?: 
Everyone
What's it's purpose: 
Free Cakes for Kids is a community service to families who find it difficult to provide a birthday cake for their child. The cakes are baked by volunteers from your community with your kid’s favourite theme or style. Free, friendly and confidential.

At the heart of every Free Cakes for Kids group are individual birthday cakes.  Put simply, a Free Cakes for Kids group matches two parties: amateur bakers and families in need.  Families contact the group either directly by phone or are referred by  a partner  organisation, such as the Young  Carers, the local Foodbank, or a children’s centre.  The cakes are then prepared by volunteers in their private kitchens and are decorated with the child’s favourite  theme.
