Help for Heroes is the grateful recipient of £1,500 thanks to a cake sale that took place in a Worksop shopping centre.<\/p>\n
A group of volunteers teamed up with local army cadets to sell baked goods at the Priory Shopping Centre last Saturday (April 26th), reports the Worksop Guardian.<\/p>\n
Tony Eaton, regional coordinator at Help for Heroes, said a large number of cakes, buns, jams and biscuits were made by kind-hearted locals.<\/p>\n
"They all sold very quick – so it's a good job we had loads more cakes brought in throughout the day by the very generous Bassetlaw public," he added.<\/p>\n
Another highlight of the day was the presence of World War II veteran Ken Beard, 92, who helped to sell cakes with his partner Edna.<\/p>\n
Mr Eaton noted that members of the public loved talking to a veteran of the conflict about his experiences.
