A big "thank you" to #Blackburn with Darwen @CommunityCVS for their recent grant which will enable our group to develop - it will help with marketing and go towards the cost of setting up a website; more soon. @blackburndarwen @WeAreTheFSA

[Free Cakes BwD @freecakesbwd]

Recently our Group Co-ordinator, Claire, was invited to speak at @CommunityCVS's network meeting. Whilst preparing for the event, Claire looked back at how many cakes have been baked since our group started in February 2013.
