Bake sale raises over £1,500 in celebration of Sophie’s 5-year cancer-free milestone

On September 24, 2023, Taunton Round Table teamed up with Sophie Holt and her family to organise a bake sale at St. Andrew’s Church Hall in Taunton. Sophie’s journey inspired her to give back, with the goal of supporting two charities that helped her during her battle with cancer: Make-A-Wish UK and Taunton Round Table (TRT).

TRT members Jon Rata, Robin Clempson, Andrew Milsted and Gareth Buckley helped on the day, contributing homemade cakes and assisting with serving tea and cakes to the guests and collecting donations. Live music by Tone Woodwind and an engaging raffle added to the fun.

The event raised an impressive £1,572.24, split between the Make-A-Wish Foundation and TRT. Sophie’s initiative showcased the power of community support and demonstrated how a small group can make a significant impact. It was a fantastic way of marking Sophie’s five-year cancer-free milestone and hopefully will inspire others to get involved in the local community.

All funds donated to TRT will be used to support worthwhile causes in Taunton and the surrounding areas.
