Miller Homes ’Baking It Better’

Leading housebuilder Miller Homes is supporting National Baking Week by hosting ‘Bake it Better’ bake sales as well as engaging in various fundraising activities at selected developments across the country.
 
National Baking Week, which runs from 14th – 20th October, is this year raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, a charity raising money to support the work of Great Ormond Street Hospital to enable it to help more children who need its specialist expertise.
 
The money raised through the Bake it Better bake sales will enable Great Ormond Street Hospital, one of the top paediatric research hospitals in the world, to provide world-class care for its young patients and their families and to fund pioneering new treatments and research for childhood illness.
 
Chris Endsor, Chief Executive, Miller Homes, said: “We are delighted to be taking part in National Baking Week, and in doing so hope to raise as much as we can for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.  We try to support as many charities as we can, and if this means bringing local communities together at the same time then to us that’s even better.
 
“We will be supporting the fundraising efforts of our sales teams by holding additional bake sales in some of our regional offices.” 
 
Hayley Richardson, Senior Fundraising Executive, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity said: “We’re delighted to be teaming up with National Baking Week this year and would like to thank Miller Homes for organising these bake sales.
 
“The money from National Baking Week will make a real difference to patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital by helping us to deliver our world class care in 21st century facilities.  We are improving our facilities and building our capacity so we can treat more children.”
