National Doughnut Week 2025 raises £40,000 for charity
Abstract
National Doughnut Week 2025 proved the power of the UK’s bakery industry to support this important cause by raising an £40,000 for The Children’s Trust, the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury.

Next year’s National Doughnut Week, sponsored by CSM Ingredients, will take place from 16-24th May 2026, giving bakeries, cafes, delis and foodservice operators the perfect opportunity to get involved, get creative, boost sales. Signing up is easy to do via the National Doughnut Week website.

Christopher Freeman, Founder of National Doughnut Week, said: “We are hugely grateful to the UK baking industry for its fantastic support of this year’s National Doughnut Week.

"The impressive amount raised is a real testament to the creativity, hard work of bakers across the country and huge thank you goes out to everyone who took part and produced such amazing doughnuts. We’re already looking forward to 2026 — don’t forget to sign up and be part of another incredible week.”

Since its launch, National Doughnut Week has now raised £1,187,546 in total, with £672,339 donated directly to The Children’s Trust.

James Dedman, general manager at CSM Ingredients UK & Ireland, commented: “Every year the baking industry commits to this fantastic cause and the creativity and energy that went into 2025 was fantastic to see. We are delighted to once again be supporting the week in 2026 and helping bakers even raise more dough.”
