A finance officer opened her house up for a cake sale to raise funds for a children’s hospice.
Michelle Van Lint, raised £1,400 for the Haven House Children’s Hospice in Woodford Green, with the sale at her home in Derby Road, South Woodford.
Guests paid £1 to get in and were treated to a delicious selection of home-made cakes and a glass or two of Pimms.
They also helped out by buying bags, cards and tickets for a fundraising raffle.
Generous Michelle holds the event on an annual basis.
She said: “Every year beforehand I think, 'Why have I taken this on again!?'
“Then the day arrives and the kind hearts of so many restores my faith in human nature.
“I had a wonderful yet exhausting day and Haven House will be £1,400 better off as a result. This is an amazing total and my record to date.”
