Four weeks. Four themes. Plenty of sweet treats. All for a great cause!

Throughout September and October, our teams took part in the GWA Charity Bake Off, with colleagues showcasing their baking talents across four delicious challenges: cupcakes, traybakes, scones and brownies.

Each week brought some fantastic entries, fierce competition and tough decisions for our judges before crowning a weekly winner. The best part? Once the judging was complete, everyone got to enjoy the bakes while making donations to support the Berwick Community Trust.

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, judged, donated and, of course, taste-tested. Together we raised £370 for a fantastic local charity while enjoying a little friendly competition along the way.
