Enterprising teenagers, Alex Feaver and Eloise Sturge are cooking up a storm with their latest fundraising project to raise around £6,000 each for a school trip to help others.

Alex (14) and Eloise (15) are both students at Sandbach High School and Sixth Form College and have been friends since they were around three-years-old meeting in nursery school.

Now the two are working together to raise a chunk of cash for their trip to Eucador Galapagos Islands in 2027 and have launched a Christmas-themed project baking Christmas cakes and puddings to order.

The clever duo have also launched a 'Go Fund' site for both their fundraising appeals. Both have to raise £6,000 to go on the trip which will see them working on projects with local children and wildlife.

Eloise, from Firth Close said: "I would one day like to work as a surgeon so experience like this will help me. We will be working with children as well as local wildlife projects with a range sea life and birds.

"It's such an exciting trip which we're both looking forward to. We'll also be doing scuba diving and snorkelling."

Her friend, Alex, who would one day like to join the RAF, is equally excited about the trip. "I love being outdoors so the trip is just right for me."

The idea to bake Christmas cakes and puddings comes from a long held tradition in Alex's family.

"Every year I work with my grandpa on a Christmas cake and pudding. I enjoy cooking and we're so looking forward to making these cakes and puddings."

The girls has started gathering ingredients and equipment together and have already go 15 orders for their work. They are making large Christmas cakes for £35 and small ones for £30 and large Christmas puddings for £23 and small ones for £15. Orders can be made using the QR code on their posters.

Anyone who wants to order a cake or pudding can email [email protected] and I will pass your details on!
