Volunteers from Durham University's Student Community Action have been baking cookies and cupcakes to sell in the colleges to boost Lifespan's funds.

Seasonal favourites are cupcakes decorated as snowmen and the Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies, although the lemon drizzle cake and the Duck biscuits were also highly rated.Not only have we had a lot of fun, but the initial trial at Collingwood was so successful that we  baked some more for the next JCR meeting. St Mary's college is also doing the same. So we're busy baking.

If you like to bake, but want to spare your waist line, why not see if your work/school college would let you bake as a  fundraiser for Lifespan? We'll give you some easy recipes (if you like) which have proved delicious and some leaflets about Lifespan to hand out. Just email us.
