A CHESHIRE charity is seeking the support of businesses in helping them take the biscuit with their biggest fundraiser of the year.

Every year Down Syndrome Cheshire, which is based in Northwich, celebrates World Down Syndrome Day on March 21 but for the past two years the pandemic has taken its toll on the fundraising activities that have been able to take place.

However, this year, the charity is asking businesses to put the kettle back on and sell a box of biscuits of its award-winning gingerbread sock biscuits to boost fundraising.

Lawrence Caygill, CEO of Down Syndrome Cheshire comments: "After disrupted 2020 and 2021 campaigns, we are really looking forward to relaunching our delicious, award-winning, gingerbread sock biscuits in 2022.

"Previous years have seen us sell over 60,000 biscuits through schools, businesses, and homes across the whole of Cheshire and in 2022 we want to do even better."

The charity is providing boxes of its beautifully decorated sock biscuits at no cost but asks that the forty biscuits provided are ‘sold’ in return for a donation to help fundraise to support families across Cheshire.

Lawrence went on: "As always, there is no cost per box, but we ask that our supporters only request an amount of biscuits they feel able to comfortably sell - with every penny raised helping DSC to support our amazing Cheshire DS community."

To find out more or to order the charity biscuits visit facebook.com/DSCheshire or call 07518 590300.

Orders must be placed by the January 31.
