The Pennine Magpie Bake Off took place on Friday, at the Calderdale Business Park, in Club Lane, where there were over 20 different bakes made by service-users, staff, parents and carers.

The sweet treats were then judged by a panel made up of Amanda Goulding, Pennine Magpie CEO, Andrew Hutchinson, Pennine Magpie Trustee, Bernadette Mazurke, Business Relationship Manager, and a service-users parent.
