We had been prompted by the staff at Asda to expect a very busy day, the day after Black Friday sales and one the big shopping weekends in the run up to Christmas; we really did not know what to expect and hoped we would have enough to sell. We need not have worried; we had the most amazing selection of cupcakes, carrot cakes, chocolate cakes, lemon drizzle cakes, victoria sponge cakes, gooseberry fool and rhubarb crumble cakes, etc. We were able to sell a small amount of merchandise as well and handed out lots of information leaflets, stickers and balloons.
The staff at ASDA were extremely accommodating as it was a very busy day for them as and having taken over the entrance to their store was always going to be a challenge. The stall was manned by students from Macmillan Academy and some of James family. We all looked marvellous in our red sashes and with our trolley of merchandise. We had people coming into the store to deliver cakes for us to sell; it really was heart warming. Thank you to everyone that baked and bought, you are all extremely generous and amazing!! We raised a magnificent £372 in memory of my son, James Campbell.
