Charitable Donations
Waterfields Bakers are a family business who are very proud to be associated with the communities around the 47 shops that we have in the North West.
Waterfields are pleased to support local hospices through the sale of our carrier bags and during a full calendar year the £13,000 that will be raised will be divided thus.
Half the money will be divided between the following
· Claire House Children's Hospice
· St Rocco's Hospice and Queens Court Hospice.
The other half will go to Macmillan nurses who play an inspirational role in both the hospices and the community.
Waterfields also have a number of shops that work with local charities that distribute food that is left at the end of the working day. If you work with a similar organisation we would be pleased to hear from you.
At a more local level, Waterfields continues to offer raffle prizes in support of deserving causes. If you are having a fundraiser for a deserving cause, please contact Mr Richard Waterfield, Chairman of Waterfields (richard.waterfield@waterfields.co.uk) and consideration will be given to all requests. We cannot guarantee to support everyone but will reply to all.
2015 Summary
In 2015, we raised in excess of £6000 for Macmillan Cancer support and over £7000 for Children in need, thanks to the generosity of our customers and the inventiveness of our staff through raffles, tombola's and the sale of cupcakes throughout the shops.
Waterfields supported schools and organisations with raffle prizes and during 2015, we donated over £1500 in products to help with their own fund raising.

Thank you again for allowing us to visit two of the Town Centre Bakeries on Christmas Eve to receive food donations for our Homeless Christmas Provision at Hope House. We received some lovely fresh bread, rolls and cakes which those who came to us really loved. We cant say a big enough 'Thank You' for the way you have supported us over the years your contribution helps us to make Christmas really special for those who come to us. Kind regards Beryl Barton PA to Hope Centre Director.
