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.

It is our passion for our city, and our desire to provide clear and easily accessible information to residents and visitors alike that has inspired us to bring you the eckhoBristol website. A comprehensive and feel-good one-stop shop offering you information, news and events to help ensure that you’re always up to date and never miss out.
To celebrate African and Caribbean Culture, History and Future. This is to help in us all having a greater understanding of ourselves, who we are, How beautiful we are, and our role in relation to the community as a whole. Even more important the understand what makes them unique, but also what makes them the same with the rest of the communtiy. From this understanding and realisation the communities can better relate, better engage and ultimately Unite.
