This year, National Doughnut Week fell between 20th and 28th May and, because it’s a charitable event, we marked the occasion by donating a supply of doughnuts to the Sue Ryder Neurological Care Centre in Fulwood, Lancashire.

A national charity, Sue Ryder supports people who are living with a terminal illness or a neurological condition, and those who have suffered bereavement. Its Neurological Care Centre in Lancashire opened in March 2020 and includes 40 en-suite rooms and an additional four individual living apartments on site.

When one of the organisation’s employees contacted us, suggesting that a doughnut donation might be an excellent way to mark National Doughnut Week, we readily agreed. We organised a delivery and, soon afterwards, we received an email thanking us and reporting that the doughnuts were being enjoyed by staff and residents alike.

If you’d like to support Sue Ryder, you can visit its online shop, make a donation, raise funds or volunteer. More options and ideas can be found on its website.

The official National Doughnut Week website can be found here, together with details of how it supports another charity, The Children’s Trust.
