Staff at Jenkins Bakery shops in Llanelli and the rest of South West Wales have collected a magnificent £2,500 for Cancer Research UK.
The money was raised during a special fundraising fortnight when pink cup cakes were on sale at Jenkins Bakery shops.
The company made a charity donation for every cake sold and customers added to the sum by making their own contributions.
“The Pink campaign in our shops was a huge success,” said Jenkins Bakery area manager Fiona Snook.
“Last year, more than £1000 was raised for the charity. But we more than doubled that total this year – and the staff had great fun doing it all.
Many members of staff dressed up in a pink theme and the shops were decorated to add to the party spirit.
“Our loyal customers were, of course, fantastic and hugely supportive of the campaign with generous donations to Cancer Research.
The Jenkins bakery has 27 shops across South Wales and employs more than 280 people, full and part-time, with headquarters in Trostre, Llanelli.
