Specsavers, Sutton, celebrated a year of supporting its chosen local charity with a festive bake-off.

There were 20 entries for three categories — sweet, savoury and showstopper. Bakes ranged from creative cupcakes to Christmas cakes, biscuits, tarts and savoury snacks. Festive fundraising throughout December had already raised more than £300.

At the judging ceremony, staff at the store in the Idlewells shopping centre were joined by John Eastwood Hospice Trust manager Diane Humphries. She helped to mark the entries and congratulated the winners.

Specsavers store director Nigel Davidson says: “The John Eastwood Hospice is such an excellent local cause. We’ve all felt inspired by the work they do and it’s an honour to fundraise on their behalf. We’ve decided to continue our support for the charity throughout 2019.”
