Bank Serves Up The Right Ingredients for Fund Raising

by isleofman.com 26th October 2011
Bank staff taking part in ‘the world’s biggest coffee morning’ to raise funds for charity also showed their flair for cake baking. Various employees from RBS International baked a whole range of cakes for invited guests to enjoy, mainly business and corporate customers, at a coffee morning staged as part of a fund raising drive by Macmillan Cancer Support. To add to the challenge, they asked Sefton Hotel head chef Chris Swinden, to judge who was best. With eight categories including ‘best chocolate cake’, ‘best fruit cake’ and a ‘cup cake class’ amongst others, Heather Norman’s gingercake creation was judged ‘best overall’ and was quickly consumed by all present. The Macmillan ‘world’s biggest coffee morning’ is a national event in which the charity invites people throughout the British Isles to hold a coffee morning to raise funds. Bank staff decided to provide the cakes to go with coffee and raised an extra ?200 for the charity as a result. Pictured with the chef are some of the winners, left to right Bill Shimmins, chef Chris Swinden, Bob Love and seated Adele Philips, Rachel Dalton, Heather Norman and Laura Bradley. ENDS
