Whether you’re a baker or a taster, join in with Forever Food Fest to raise some dough for Forever Manchester to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester.
October has always been our big fundraising month, with companies and community groups getting involved in all sorts of office events and socials to raise money. Part of this was the ever popular Caketober, and this year we're giving you the chance to go even bigger with the introduction of Forever Food Fest, as part of our mission to raise £50,000 between now and Christmas. Bake a cake or cook a savoury dish, simply bring a plate of food into the office to sell to your team. Forever Food Fest is accessible to all, whether you’re doing the cooking or the eating – you don’t need to be a great chef to get involved! |
