Bakers raise money for breast cancer charity

Employees at air traffic control company NATS swapped radars for cupcakes on Thursday in aid of breast cancer charity, The Haven.

The Haven is a UK charity that offers a wide range of emotional, physical and practical support to people affected by breast cancer. It is currently raising money in order to open a brand new support centre in Titchfield, Hampshire, this autumn.

Talented amateur bakers from across NATS’ HQ in Fareham were encouraged to submit their creations in a Great British Bake Off style competition, with the cakes then available for hungry employees to buy.

NATS’ Kirsty Paginton, HR Communications Advisor, Claire Burton, Talent Acquisition Manager and Soraya Robertson, Learning and Development Manager.

Claire Burton, NATS Talent Acquisition Manager from Hedge End, was crowned master baker for her five layered lemon drizzle cake with spectacular chocolate decoration.

Soraya Robertson, Learning and Development Manager and Bake Off organiser, said: “The Haven needs £2.5 million to open a new centre in Hampshire this autumn. It does such important work supporting people affected by breast cancer that our employees have been very keen to support it, and the cakes have been great too!”
