Lendi charity bake off in aid of New Zealand Red Cross

By Julia Nguyen, Head of Experience at Lendi,1 April 2019| 3 min read

In light of the recent tragedy in Christchurch we wanted to help out and show our support to our NZ friends in any way we could.

We organised a charity bake sale to raise money for the New Zealand Red Cross. We chose this amazing cause as they support vulnerable sectors of the community and offer invaluable community programmes to those in need.

Our bakers

baking-sale No less than 19 of our full-time team members, part-time baking enthusiasts, volunteered their skills for this special initiative. They kneaded, baked and iced a huge variety of delicious treats from Tim Tam cheesecakes all the way through to pavlovas and homemade scones!

Our bake sale kicked off at 10.30am for 2 hours and in true Lendi style raised over AUD$2,000. We had a dress code of black, white and/or silver to represent the NZ fern. This was a special opportunity for everyone across the business to get together and positively impact a community in need.

We also ran competitions with prize giveaways for the best dressed female / male, and the baker who raised the most money won lunch with a member of Lendi’s Executive team. It was a lot of fun and we are very proud of the Lendi family and what we were able to achieve.
