Resourcing Team, Exeter Mail Centre

Janet Myers decided to run a cake stall for Barnardos in the Mail Centre at Exeter.  She persuaded the Manager of Quadrant to give over a few tables in the staff restaurant on Friday 12th March. 

 She then started a campaign to enlist 'volunteers' to donate home baked cakes.
Help was received from Peter Holland, Business Customer Advisor and Nikki Smith,  IR/ER Advisor, both based at Exeter. 

 Peter designed and printed posters advertising the event and Nikki helped with the organisation and provided some lovely home made cakes. 

When the event started at 08.30am, the table was groaning with the amount of home baked goodies, shortbread, apple cake, a huge chocolate sponge, banana cake, muffins, cookies etc., but by 5pm it was completely sold out, only a few crumbs remained.

The total amount raised was £176.22 and RM will match that.The staff were very impressed "this is great, can we do it every Friday"


 "This looks so lovely, I am going to ignore my diet" but the clincher was from my son, Alex.  "Which cake did you make Mum; I will buy it all so no-one has to suffer!" Janet Myers
