Charity Bake Sale Returns for a 4th Year

We’re delighted to announce that our annual charity bake sale returns on Wednesday 14th October, running from 10:00am to 3:00pm at our Thornbury office:

L&J Gulwell Funeral Directors,

1 Quaker Lane, Thornbury, BS35 2AD

Now in its fourth year, the event has raised over £1,500 to date. This year, all proceeds will go to Made a Mark, a Bristol-based charity that supports children and families following the loss of a parent or sibling. Through memory boxes, resources and support materials provided to hospitals and hospices, the charity helps bereaved children preserve precious memories at some of life’s most difficult moments.

The bake sale is our chance to open our doors and welcome the local community for a day of homemade cakes, sweet treats and refreshments, all in support of a cause close to our hearts. No RSVP needed, just come along. If you’d like to let us know you’re coming, we’ll make sure there’s a slice waiting for you.

Made a Mark is a local charity set up in 2018 in memory of Mark Knapp, a much-loved husband and father of two, who died very suddenly and unexpectedly.

The charity aims to help families who are dealing with the grief of losing a parent or sibling.
