The UK's leading end-of-life charity, Marie Curie, has launched an autumn baking fundraiser.

The charity is encouraging Pembrokeshire bakers to get involved and help raise funds.

Participants can host bake-off challenges, cake sales, and more to get involved.

To support the initiative, Marie Curie will provide a special recipe pack featuring autumnal bakes from Melissa Hemsley, the Hairy Bikers, and Fay Ripley.

Posters, social media graphics, invitations, and fundraising in-memory cards will also be provided.

Actor and author Fay Ripley said: "I find myself yelling 'use your loaf!' at everyone and anyone so now I’ve used my loaf - my banana and chocolate loaf in fact! - to support Marie Curie with their important work, delivering expert care at the end of life.

"I promise I won’t yell at you, but I hope everyone gets baking with me."

Claire Phillips, head of community fundraising in Wales, said: "Whether you’re crazy about chocolate cake or partial to pumpkin pie, this autumn Marie Curie is making raising funds for expert end of life care a piece of cake.

"As the nights draw in, baking and sharing sweet treats can be a fun (and tasty) way to help Marie Curie continue to provide expert care and support at the end of life, free from unnecessary pain, so people can have the dignity and respect they deserve, whatever their illness."
