Balfey's Bakers, the group of Sutton Poyntz bakers led by Chris Balfe, have made money at various village events for donation to charity, through making and selling delicious home-made loaves of all sorts. As well as donating the proceeds of the sales (over £1000 and still counting!), they have donated the excess bread to various Weymouth charities.

On the 21st, the BBC came to the Mission Hall, where they filmed the Bakers making bread for donation to local food kitchens and homeless shelters.

On the 22nd December, this will be shown on Spotlight (BBC Southwest) and also on South Today (BBC South), some time around 6.30 p.m. on BBC1. It may also feature on local radio.

The village's first event specifically supporting the BBC's Children in Need was an outstanding success, raising over £900. Well done to the organisers, and to all of you who attended and donated money to this wonderful cause.
