Charity fortnight at Jenkins Bakery shops

By Robert Lloyd

Staff at Jenkins Bakery shops in Llanelli and the rest of South West Wales are in the pink for their latest charity campaign.

The summer fund-raiser for Cancer Research UK was launched today (Monday, July 15) at the company’s Sosban shop in Stepney Street.

For the next fortnight, the spotlight will be on pink cup cakes at the Jenkins Bakery shops as the company makes a charity donation for every cake sold.

Last year, more than £1000 was raised for the charity.

“This year, we have extended the campaign to run for two weeks, so we are hoping to raise a lot more for a very worthwhile charity,” said area manager Fiona Snook.

Jenkins Bakery Operations director Russell Jenkins said: “Throughout the year, we try and support as much charitable activity as we can. For the next fortnight, the ladies in our shops will be bearing pink T-shirts and other fun items to help Cancer Research UK.

“The pink cakes are a big hit with our customers every year. Our customers are very important to us as it is their support which helps us make significant charitable donations throughout the year.”

The Jenkins bakery has 27 shops across South Wales and employs more than 280 people, full and part-time, with headquarters in Trostre, Llanelli.
