Free Cakes For Kids UK is a not for profit community service that helps economically and/or socially disadvantaged families in the UK provide a birthday cake for their child when they would otherwise find it difficult to do so. We work with a number of community projects, charities and organisations that are already working with those people who would benefit from this service.
How Does It Work?
We have a team of volunteer bakers who respond to individual requests as and when they arrive. They bake in their own homes, pay for the ingredients themselves and deliver the cake in time for the child’s birthday, either to the home or to another suitable location. They will even do their best to incorporate the child’s favourite theme or style for the cake! Referrals generally come to us via a support worker through the project that the family or child has contact with. There’s a short referral form to complete that helps us assess eligibility but it’s a really simple and friendly service and, of course, completely confidential.
The Abergavenny Group was set up in June this year and at present we cover Abergavenny, Monmouth, Chepstow and Merthyr Tydfil. If you belong to an organisation who you think might be able to use our services, or would like to become a baking volunteer, please contact Lesley Ball at: abergavennyfreecakesforkids@gmail.com

Free Cakes for Kids aims to make a difference – one cake at a time.
