Hospice Launches Third Year of Cakes for Care Fundraiser!

We are delighted to announce the return of one of our sweetest fundraising tradition - Cakes for Care, now celebrating its third year and taking place from 5th – 11th October 2026 during Hospice Care Week.

After two incredibly successful years, with the community raising over £13,000 to support local Hospice services, Cakes for Care is once again inviting individuals, businesses, schools, and community groups across the Island to get involved. Host your own cake‑themed fundraiser, from coffee mornings and bake sales to afternoon teas, office bake‑offs, or any creative culinary idea you can dream up.

And the best part: every penny raised stays right here on the Isle of Man, directly supporting Hospice Isle of Man. Unlike national campaigns where funds leave the Island, your kindness and creativity make a tangible difference in your own community, truly helping to ‘bake’ care into every slice.

Vanessa Smith, Head of Income Generation at Hospice Isle of Man, said:

‘’We have been truly overwhelmed by the community’s continued enthusiasm for Cakes for Care, and we are thrilled to be launching the 2026 campaign for its third year in support of our Hospice. Every penny raised helps us continue delivering excellence in palliative and end‑of‑life care for our Island community, so every slice shared really does help us bake a difference. We would love for you to get involved once again - raise a cuppa, raise some funds, and help support Hospice Isle of Man.”

Participants can sign up online to receive a free fundraising pack, which includes recipes, branded posters, bunting, cake toppers, labels, activities and more. Additional downloadable resources are also available via the Hospice website to help make each event a piece of cake.
