We’re committed to supporting locals just like you… because what’s life all about if not our loaf for one another?
Community is like the icing on every finger bun and the love in every loaf. It’s the best part of who we are. That’s why we always take a little extra time each day to support and engage with those around us. Check out these videos of what Bakers Delight has been doughin’ for communities across the country.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Bakers Delight and Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) have been ‘breast’ friends since 2000 and during that time, we’ve formed an unbreakable bond of love and mutual support for people experiencing breast cancer.
Each year during our annual Pink Bun campaign, over 500 bakeries ‘pink up’ to raise awareness and donate 100% of their Fun Bun sales to BCNA. Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our Franchisees, we have baked, iced and sold over 13 million Fun Buns and raised more than $25 million to help BCNA support thousands of Australians and their families through their breast cancer journey.

We are proud to partner with Australia’s most trusted preventative health education provider, Life Ed, with our ‘Healthy Solutions Range’ to help children make healthier choices.
Life Ed have been educating hundreds of thousands of Aussie children for as long as we have been feeding them (for over 40 years!), through early learning centres, childcare centres, kindergartens and primary schools. Together (with the help of ‘Healthy Harold’ the giraffe!), we educate children on where food comes from, the importance of whole grains in a healthy diet, and the key nutrients they provide for growing bodies and minds.

We are proud to be the exclusive major partner of the Life Ed ‘Growing Good Grains – Garden Grants Campaign’ 3-29 June, 2024.
To view the 25 recipients of the 2024 Growing Good Gardens Grants, click here.
Details of the 2025 Growing Good Grains Grants program will be announced later in the year.
Through our partnership with Life Ed, it is our goal to help children and parents make healthier food choices, with the help of our ‘Healthy Solutions’ range.

Supporting the community can take many different shapes and forms. For the team at Bakers Delight Kyabram (Victoria), it means helping both their local and global community.
Instead of sending excess stock of our campaign aprons to landfill, Liza Curtis and her team collect them, have them converted into carry bags and then sell them to customers. The money raised provides income for the local seamstress as well as a community sewing group in remote East Timor.
Communities are often at their best when they are rallying together to help locals who are doing it tough. The Bakers Delight Operations Team in NSW did just that, having collaborated with 20 Franchisees from across the Newcastle region, to support the 2023 Hunter Homeless Connect Day.
This is an annual event linking people who are either homeless or at risk of becoming so, to vital services such as; housing, health and wellbeing, legal and financial assistance, employment or study.
When two-year-old Will Morrison fell into a campfire and severely burnt his hands, the emergency treatment he received at the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s hospital was second to none.
His parents, Tim and Belinda (franchisees at BD Renmark) were so grateful for the care and support they received when they needed it most, they decided to give something back by raising over $30,000 in funds for the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation.
At Bakers Delight, we believe in the power of community and the joy of giving back, so this Christmas we’d like to offer your school, club or local organisation the opportunity to bring some additional delight to your community with a Bakers Delight Christmas fundraising drive.
