This Saturday, we will be supporting the work of Home-Start Hampshire through our Charity Awareness Scheme. This scheme raises awareness of local causes, and supports them financially. Even if you just pop in for a coffee, you’ll be doing your part – buying some cake will make it even better!
What do Home-Start Hampshire do?
Being a parent, whatever the situation, can be very challenging. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, their or their child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple births. That’s when parents need support. That’s when Home-Start Hampshire can help. Head to home-starthampshire.org.uk to find out more about their work.
Almost £30 million has been raised through The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning over the years, and Barnaby’s are delighted to confirm that we’ll be getting involved again in 2023. Set your calendars for Saturday 30th September and pop to Barnaby’s for a yummy coffee and a slice of homemade cake. We’ll also have some games for our younger visitors to enjoy.
Fancy baking a cake for Macmillan? If so, please drop your creations with us by 9am on the day itself, or at 5pm the evening before. Please include a list of ingredients. Thank you!
St.Patricks Day is on Friday 17th March. It is an event that commemorates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and the heritage of the Irish in general. Celebrations first began in the 17th Century, and today they generally involve public parades, festivals, cèilidhs and the wearing of shamrocks.
To mark the occasion, we’ve got a rather awesome Guinness cake coming, made by one of our fabulous volunteer bakers. When it’s gone, it’s gone!
