John Whaite, the former Great British Bake Off winner will help choose best cake to celebrate London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard’s (LLGS) 40th birthday.
The celebrity chef will judge the bake-off when he joins volunteers at a special picnic in the park, as part of a weekend of Pride celebrations in London.
The Great Volunteer Reunion Picnic will take place on Sunday, June 29 between 1300-1700 in the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, London SE11 5HY.
Organiser and LLGS trustee Richard Desmond, said: “Cake has been a big part of life in our phone-room for over four decades and there is no better way to celebrate our milestone birthday.”
“All former LLGS volunteers, as well as their friends and families, are welcome to join the picnic and take part in the bake-off.”
John Whaite will be joined by Harry Iggulden, the owner of the nearby Tea House Theatre, to judge the bake-off and prizes have been sponsored by the Theatre and Waitrose Vauxhall.
Richard, continued: “We’re incredibly grateful to both our judges and our sponsors – and it will be a great opportunity for our former volunteers to get together, catch up with old friends, and celebrate our big birthday.”
The event, part of the Big Pride Picnic in the Park 2014, is free to attend and easily accessible. There will also be a marquee so the picnic can go ahead come rain or shine.
LLGS acts as a national helpline, operating from 10am to 11pm every day throughout the year. Many of their contacts now come through the internet and their volunteers answer e-mails and instant messaging.
