Free Cakes for Kids
28 June 2025
Imagine being a child on your birthday and not having a cake to celebrate with. For many families in Sheffield facing poverty, homelessness, or other hardships, this is a heartbreaking reality. That’s where Free Cakes for Kids Sheffield steps in—bringing smiles, joy, and delicious birthday cakes to children who might otherwise go without.
Free Cakes for Kids Sheffield is a volunteer-run service offering free, personalised birthday cakes for children aged 1 to 18. Each cake is lovingly baked and decorated by a local volunteer who tailors it to the child’s favorite theme—whether that’s Minecraft, Cocomelon, or something entirely unique. It’s a simple yet powerful gesture that helps children feel seen, celebrated, and valued.
This service is completely free, friendly, and confidential. Referrals come from trusted local organisations working with families across Sheffield—schools, food banks, hostels, and charities all play a vital role in connecting children with the support they need.
Free Cakes for Kids Sheffield is aiming to grow their impact even further. They hope to run cake decorating workshops for children supported by local charities. These sessions will not only provide a fun, hands-on activity but also give children a sense of creativity and pride in what they can make with their own two hands.
Your £1000 donation will help to provide;
Basic equipment such as mixing bowls, spoons, and cleaning supplies—all reusable for future sessions.
Ingredients for decorating cupcakes, biscuits, and more.
Take-home kits for the children, including aprons, mugs printed with recipes, and ingredients for fun treats like mug cakes—encouraging families to continue baking at home.
By supporting this initiative, you’re not just donating to a good cause—you’re helping build memories that last a lifetime.
