Thank you ROATH

On Saturday 12th April we held the third annual Great Roath Bake Off. It was an amazing success and we would like to thank the following people.

This year we got our first sponsorship which enabled us to put on a bigger and better event. It was great to have a sponsor that felt the same way about the event as we did and together we wanted to put on a great community event in Roath that we could all be proud of. So massive thanks to CPS Homes & Lettings especially Emma & Nikki for all their support. 

A HUGE thank you to everyone that sponsored our volunteers T Shirts
