Every year 40,000 children in the UK are left with a brain injury as a result of an accident or illness and it can be devastating – they may no longer be able to walk, talk, stand, sit, or feed themselves – sometimes all of these abilities. The Children’s Trust aims to help rebuild as many of their skills as possible, as well as their self-esteem.

“This year’s National Doughnut Week was another great success, raising the most money since 2009 and we want to say a huge thank you to all the businesses that took part and to the people who bought doughnuts. We will be encouraging even more bakers from across the UK to take part next year and help raise vital funds for The Children’s Trust. Every penny raised goes directly to the charity to help them carry on their important work. Don’t forget to put 10th-18th May in all your diaries.”
