Get involved

Free Cakes for Kids UK is made by people like you – a true community project. Most of our volunteers and organisers have a passion for baking and decorating breathtaking birthday cakes. But even if you do not consider yourself a great baker, there is a lot you can do.

If there already is a group in your community, you can:

• Bake away: Many groups are looking for passionate bakers, who enjoy baking and decorating fancy birthday cakes.
• Help with logistics: Even you do not consider yourself a baking god(dess), you can help with logistics, delivery or spreading the word in your local community.
• Recommend a partner: Do you know an organisation that a local group could work with? Let them know and put them in touch.
• Tell the world: Spread the word about Free Cakes for Kids. It’s a great idea, people like it and some even decide to set up a group themselves.

If there is not yet a group in you community, you can:

• Start a new group: It takes a bit work, but after all it is not too difficult. Let us know where you are based and we can help you to get started.
• Get a team: Find others, who share your interests and want start a group with you. It’s always much more fun to work in a team and share the good times and excitement.
• Network, network, network: Contact local charities, social services, and media. Many are happy to help. Again, we can help you find the right people to work with.
• Bake for a good cause: Even without a formal group, you can do good by baking cake. Help out your favourite charity with a special celebration cake – or just bake for your friends!

Of course, we are also grateful for donations. While the FCFK UK network relies on restless volunteers, we sometimes need to buy a train ticket or make phone calls: Free Cakes UK on Localgiving.com (administered by FCFK Oxford until the network is formally constituted as a community group).
