Community Project
DEMONSTRATION PROJECT Community Cakes
"Building strong grassroots organisations, charities, and social enterprises in Plymouth"
Project Completed July 2024
Our Innovation fund project was Community Cakes where we aimed to bring people together through the joy of baking. Our mission was to help local communities by supporting those in need, from families facing hardships to individuals celebrating special milestones. We believe a simple cake can uplift spirits, create connections and bring comfort in times of difficulty.
By volunteering our time, skills and ingredients we make a meaningful difference - one cake at a time whether it was proving a special treat for a struggling neighbour or through events in our coffee mornings, we planned to spread kindness and sweetness in every community.
Our project supported 20 local residents who attended the weekly coffee mornings over the 12 weeks. We had guest speakers come to the coffee mornings from local organisations to let people know about activities on offer.
Feedback from local residents included:
“ The community cake coffee morning was the highlight of my week. I really enjoyed getting to meet new people and try the lovely homemade cakes. I would like to attend in the future as a volunteer” Anon Participant
This project was supported by 5 local volunteers. The volunteers who were all DBS processed and achieved level 3 food hygiene qualifications.
The volunteers supported by setting up stalls at local events to promote the project. They also cofacilitated the baking sessions with a member of staff and helped to serve the cakes to isolated residents who attended the coffee mornings.

Since this project has finished we have been fundraising to continue it on a monthly basis. Our volunteers have continued to support the sessions and we are looking to expand in the future
