HELP for Heroes is asking the enthusiastic cooks in West Devon to get baking to raise 'hundreds and thousands' for the wounded, injured and sick service personnel, veterans and their families.

The 'Bake for Heroes' campaign is from April 18 to May 4, however, if this is not convenient, you are welcome to choose a date that is.

People can either get friends and neighbours over for tea and a slice of cake in exchange for a donation or hold a bake sale in the middle of the town and sell treats to the masses.

Every single baked delight that is created, sold and eaten makes a difference to the support H4H can provide.

A free fundraising pack will be sent to every Bake for Heroes event organiser to help make each event a success.

The packs include H4H wristbands, lapel pins, collecting boxes, bunting, balloons and pricing stickers.

Emma Parry, chief executive and co-founder of Help for Heroes, said: 'H4H is all about doing your bit and this event is a wonderful example of people rallying support and having a great deal of fun while they raise money.

The money you raise is needed, it is being used and it is hugely appreciated.'

H4H offers comprehensive support to those who have suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses in the line of duty.

This is provided through grants to individuals, other charities and organisations, capital build projects and four recovery centres across the UK, including the latest in Plymouth, which offer support for life.
