‘4 O’clock Cake’ goes all the way back to 1991 when Edward’s Trust first opened as Edward House, providing a ‘home from home’ for parents whose children were in Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
Every day at 4pm it was ‘tradition’ for the Edward House team to bake a cake. The smell would fill the building and provide families with a much-needed escape from the ward, a chance to talk, communicate and support each other.
Over the years our work has evolved; however, we still see the ‘4 O’clock Cake’ as a symbol of communication and togetherness, now being a tasty way to support us is by hosting your own cake sale event.
We invite you to organise your own ‘4 O’clock Cake’ party over the summer with your friends, family or even at work! Please reach out so we can send you your fundraising pack, where you can find everything you need to know to run your ‘4 O’clock Cake’ event.
Thank you very much and we look forward to hearing from you!
