THE latest fundraising event by Reading Buses had a very sweet result.

The company held an early Easter bake sale to raise money for its Charity of the Year, Cancer Research Kids & Teens.

Staff baked and faked their cakes with lots of yummy treats available raising more than £200 on the day.

Organised by Dolores Saunders at the company’s Great Knollys Street depot, there was also a super Easter hamper as a raffle prize.

Vintage jewellery was donated by Reading Buses marketing and brand manager Nikki Ball.

The firm’s executive officer Robert Williams said: “It was a great day and everyone enjoyed tucking into the cakes and sweet treats.

“There were even some freshly made samosas on sale too which sold out in minutes.

“It’s a big thank you to Dolores for organising, but also to all the employees who contributed either by providing cakes and, of course, to those that had the enviable task of buying and eating them.”

Reading Buses run a range of route that cover the borough including the Orange routes in Woodley, the Lions which serve Wokingham and the Leopards which reach Finchampstead and Arborfield. The firm also recently took over Courtney Buses.
