Luke Evans Bakery raises cash for charity during National Doughnut Week

Derbyshire baker Luke Evans Bakery has donated £88 to the Children’s Trust after taking part in National Doughnut Week.

The bakery, based at Riddings near Alfreton, gave 10p for every doughnut sold at its shop during the special week, and also added its own donation to the good cause.

“We were pleased to take part in National Doughnut Week and do our bit for charity,” said managing director David Yates. “It’s an event we’ve supported for some time now.”

National Doughnut Week has raised more than £735,000 for the Children’s Trust since it was first launched – and this year organisers hope to collect a further £30,000 for the good cause.

Luke Evans Bakery was one of many participating bakers across the UK helping to raise money for the Children’s Trust, which is a national charity that provides care, education and therapy for children with multiple disabilities and complex health needs.

Luke Evans Bakery sells 1,200 doughnuts for National Doughnut Week

Luke Evans Bakery customers have raised £100 for a children's charity – by tucking into an incredible 1,200 doughnuts.

The Derbyshire craft baker normally sells about 50 doughnuts a week from its shop in Green Hill Lane, Riddings, near Alfreton.

But trade customers throughout Derbyshire and West Notts joined the push during National Doughnut Week (May 7th to May 14th) and sales shot up to 1,222.

A donation was made for every doughnut sold and the money will go to the Children's Trust, a national charity which particularly helps children who are born with brain injuries or suffer brain damage as a result of accidents or illness.

Proprietor David Yates said: "It was a great opportunity for us to support such a worthwhile cause and we would like to thank everyone who bought doughnuts throughout the special week.

"We normally only sell them through our on-site shop, but our trade customers joined in the effort and sales rocketed.

"And now the week is over they keep coming back – so it looks like people have developed a taste for our doughnuts."

Over the past 19 years the week has raised more than £700,000 nationwide and this year organisers hope the final total will exceed £50,000.

Luke Evans Bakery is a family business established in 1804 and can call on eight generations of baking experience. It supplies around 200 trade customers in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, including shops, schools, delis and Pride Park – the home of Derby County Football Club. It also sells direct to the public from its shop in Green Hill Lane, Riddings.
