Don’t miss our Celebrating Pancake Day campaign this month!

We’re flipping for joy with our Celebrating Pancake Day campaign, running from the 1st to 29th March! This means Pancake Day doesn’t have to end on Tuesday, 4th March. 

As part of the campaign, we’re releasing this Ultimate Pancake Day Resource Pack, featuring sweet and savoury pancake topping ideas and top tips for making and delivering the perfect pancake cooking sessions.  

We also have a very special Pancake Day Quiz designed to test your knowledge all about the day. Activities include a Pancake Day Memory Game and the fun and interactive "Rate That Pancake" tasting session!  

All of these exciting activities will be available on the Wellness and Activities Platform.

 

Considerations for the competition and how you can make the most of it 

Safety and hygiene 

To ensure a safe and enjoyable activity, follow these essential safety and hygiene steps: 

• Personal Hygiene: Ensure all participants and staff wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water before beginning. 

• Provide disposable aprons and gloves to participants to maintain cleanliness. 

• Clean Environment: Wipe down all surfaces with an antibacterial cleaner before and after the activity. 

• Lay protective tablecloths over the tables to prevent spills and stains. 

• Keep kitchen roll, sanitising wipes, and bin bags on hand for quick clean-ups. 

• Allergy Considerations: Check for any allergies or dietary restrictions of participants before the session. 

• Clearly label all ingredients and provide allergen-free alternatives (e.g., gluten-free flour, dairy-free milk). 

• Preparation: Ensure the workspace is decluttered and organised. 

• Keep sharp objects, like knives, safely away from participants who may not be able to handle them safely.  

• Use non-slip mats under mixing bowls to prevent spills. 

 

Preparation tips 

• Pre-chop any ingredients (e.g., fruits, nuts) to save time and adjust to participants’ abilities. 

• Portion out ingredients into easy-to-handle bowls for participants. 

• Have duplicates of equipment to ensure everyone can participate. 

 

Top tips for engagement 

• Encourage participants to help measure and mix ingredients. 

• Use utensils with easy-to-grip handles for those with limited hand strength.
