Research Bakers

Many of the diseases and conditions that affect human health have been cured or overcome as a result of medical research. Yet, millions of people in the UK and around the world still grapple with debilitating health conditions.

That’s where you step in.

As a Research Baker you will help raise funds for life-changing medical research while showcasing your culinary skills.

You’ll hold a charity bake sale, but with a scientific twist.

Get together with your colleagues, course mates, friends and family to put on a bake sale to showcase science (this could be your own research or area of expertise!) through the medium of cake.

Our handy, downloadable Research Bakers Fundraising Pack contains everything you need to become a Research Baker, including baking ideas, science communication tips and more. Sign up to download your pack.

Getting started as a Research Baker

Hosting your own Research Bake Off is simple! Pick a date and a location and then grab your colleagues, course mates, friends and family to join you.

The easiest way to collect donations from your bake sale is by setting up a JustGiving online donation page. If you receive any cash donations, you can pay them into your own bank and then make a donation to your page – it’s as simple as that.

Start by setting up a JustGiving page, or download our Fundraising Pack above for more information.

Who is your Star Baker?

Make sure everyone who donates or buys a scientific sweet treat also votes for their favourite Research Baker creation. At the end of the bake sale, count up the votes and see who your Star Research Baker is!
