Baking Project Young Aawaz Girls group at Rhyddings have been meeting every Wednesday after school learning the art of baking. We have attended an eight week course and worked very hard to perfect our skills to bake and decorate cupcakes. We have been making these so that we can sell them for charity. Before Christmas we sold the cakes at Rhyddings Business & Enterprise School and Witton Park Christmas fairs and other community events. So far we have raised over ÂŁ290!
This project has enabled us to learn a new skill and to earn money for our chosen local charities. I am really proud that we have been able to help other people less fortunate than us, learn new skills and enjoy ourselves at the same time. All the girls have really enjoyed baking and we made some fantastic cakes, knowing that the money is going to charity makes us feel really proud and happy to be part of this Young Aawaz project. - Arfina Begum, 15

Young Aawaz members have decided to support Derian House as their charity this year. Derian House is a hospice for babies, young children, and their families offering support across the North West for young people who are suffering from life threatening conditions. The charity relies mainly on donations and fundraising to offer an amazing level of care and support that enables these children to be helped through their difficult journey. We have started our fundraising and aim to undertake many more projects. If you have any fundraising ideas, or wish to make a donation please contact Mrs Cunliffe for further details. www.derianhouse.co.uk
