SIR – The ever-popular National Doughnut Week is fast approaching and I would like to appeal to readers to support this annual charity event, which takes place from May 7 to 14, in aid of The Children’s Trust.

Everyone deserves a treat from time to time, and this fun campaign is a great way to share some delicious doughnuts with family, friends and work colleagues, and also raise some dough for charity.

All you need to do is to purchase doughnuts from participating high-street bakers – wherever you see the National Doughnut Week posters displayed.

A percentage from each doughnut sale will be donated to The Children’s Trust, a national charity which provides care, education and therapy for children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs, and rehabilitation services to children with an acquired brain injury.

So bakers, if you haven’t done so, please register now and get baking, and all you lovely people get buying. For fundraising ideas, doughnut facts, and to register your vote for the UK’s favourite doughnut, visit: thechildrenstrust.org.uk /doughnuts or facebook/nationaldoughnut week.
