BAKING FOR COMIC RELIEF
Young people! Send your news and pics to newsdesk@firstnews.co.uk and have your story published on this page and, perhaps, in First News too! I DECIDED to fundraise for Comic Relief after seeing one of their films, which made me sad.
At first, we sold eggs from our own chickens out of a wooden ‘Shed Shop’ on the road next to our house. But I decided to bake with them instead and I made hundreds of salted caramel chocolate chip brownies. At least one or two would be sold every day and they flew off the shelves at the weekends. I was amazed when I realised I had raised £700.
This year I want to do even better and raise over £1,000 so
I have asked my school friends and some local families to help. I have given them recipe cards so they can bake their own treats, and we will sell them at different stalls along a popular cycling route. The challenge can be so much fun.
