🧁 Volunteer Cake Baker

Bring joy, comfort, and homemade sweetness to our residents at The Orders of St John’s Care Trust!

Do you love baking? Do you enjoy seeing people smile because of something you’ve made? We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteer bakers to share their passion for cakes, biscuits, pastries — anything delicious — with the residents in our OSJCT care homes.

Your homemade treats can spark memories, start conversations, and bring real joy to the people we support.

💛 What You’ll Do

As a Cake Baker Volunteer, you’ll help by:

  • Baking cakes, biscuits, or sweet treats (at home or in our home kitchens)
  • Supporting baking sessions with residents
  • Sharing your favourite recipes
  • Helping create themed treats for birthdays, celebrations, or afternoon teas
  • Adding warmth and personal touch to our community events

🌼 Why This Role Matters

Something as simple as a homemade cake can:

  • Bring comfort and familiarity
  • Encourage social interaction
  • Boost wellbeing and appetite
  • Create special shared moments
  • Help residents feel valued and remembered

It’s an incredibly meaningful way to give back.

What We’re Looking For

  • A passion for baking (all skill levels welcome!)
  • Reliability
  • A friendly nature
  • A willingness to follow food hygiene guidance
  • Someone who enjoys making others happy

🌟 What You’ll Gain

  • The joy of brightening someone’s day
  • A sense of purpose and pride
  • New connections and friendships
  • Opportunities to bake alongside residents
  • Being part of a supportive, caring community
