Cakes Galore for Children In Need 2013

Staff at the Business Innovation Centre raised £48 for Children in Need by selling cupcakes to their fellow tenants at the Sutherland Institute in Longton, Stoke on Trent. Most of the tenants at the Sutherland Institute are BIC clients and they were more than happy to purchase the cup cakes for such a great cause. Many thanks to Reels in Motion, Interlock Digital, Haven Care, Hedgehog Security Services, 3D Creation Lab and the staff at Longton Library.
