Nothing brings people together like food, and no matter what your culinary skills, whipping up your favourite snacks and swapping them for donations is a super-easy way to raise some cash.

We’ve got loads of recipes on our site, courtesy of MasterChef. Head here for tasty ideas like red velvet cakes, tomato tarts and even vegan burgers!
