The collective efforts of volunteers across England resulted in the sale of just over 21,000 cakes. All the proceeds from the cakes go directly to KORT to support orphans in need, providing them with essential care, education, and support.
“We are overwhelmed by the support we get from the Blackburn community for the Cakes 4 Orphans campaign,” Raja Zaman, who was awarded for volunteer of the year recently, said.
“Despite the challenges we faced this year, we are proud to have sold over 2,700 cakes in 30 days and it’s been absolutely amazing.”
