Take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We want you to raise money for the area that means the most to you. Whether you work at Nottingham’s NHS Hospitals or they’ve looked after someone you care about, you choose who you raise money for.
We want everyone to get involved not matter their level of baking. Whether you can just make rice krispie squares or you are the next Paul Hollywood, the NUH Bake is meant to be a fun event for everyone to enjoy. If you really aren’t much of a baker, you can always offer to host the event and encourage others who want to bake to bring the cakes or head to the shop and buy a cake.
If sweet treats aren't your thing, you can always make a savoury baked good instead.
