In December 2024, we received a request from a member of the Booker Retail team who was planning a charity fundraising event in support of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. We agreed to supply a quantity of our Classic Mini Rings and our Ring Bake doughnuts, which were duly delivered and used as prizes in a tombola.
The event took place in the week commencing 9th December and was a great success. One of the organisers, Laura, said that it had been extremely popular – so much so that the team managed to clear all the prizes within just two days, rather than the whole week that was originally planned.
She added that the team “got some very good feedback on the doughnuts… especially the Classic Mini Rings. Everyone seemed to really enjoy them!”
Anyone wishing to support the fundraising campaign can donate directly via a JustGiving page set up by Booker Retail.
This donation was just one of several that Simply Doughnuts has made over the course of December. We have also provided doughnuts to local food banks and to The Scottish Grocer Food Collection Campaign, which is distributing food over Christmas in association with FareShare, the UK’s largest charity fighting hunger and food waste.
