Four Marks and Ropley Beaver Scouts recently organised a bake sale as part of their community impact badge, raising an impressive amount for St. Michael's Hospice.

8 Beaver Scouts dressed in blue uniform jumpers stand around a table decorating cakes and biscuits to sell for charity. They concentrate on their work, not looking at the camera.

The event took place on Monday 7th October at Four Marks and Ropley Scout hall, drawing families and friends from the local area eager to support a worthy cause while enjoying delicious homemade treats.

The Beaver Scouts, aged six to eight years, took part in the planning and preparation, showcasing their baking skills with an array of goodies, including cupcakes and cookies. Parents and volunteers helped supervise the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Children enjoyed picking out their favourite treats while learning about the importance of giving back to the community.

"We wanted to do something special for our community," said Beaver Scout leader Lynn Vine. "St. Michael's Hospice provides incredible support to families in need, and we're proud to contribute in our own way."

All proceeds from the bake sale will be donated directly to St. Michael's Hospice, which provides compassionate care to patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families. The hospice is known locally for its dedicated staff and volunteers who offer support in both clinical and emotional capacities.

The event raised over £250, a testament to the hard work and enthusiasm of the Beaver Scouts and their families. St. Michael's Hospice expressed their gratitude for the community's support, emphasising how such contributions make a significant difference in their ability to provide care.

We would like to say a special thank you to Jane Mills, Lucy Kington, Naomi Vine, Chris Willcocks, Teresa Hammond, Lynn Vine and Faith Vine for helping organise and run such an amazing event.
