MasterChef finalist Emma Spitzer judged a bake off at the Holocaust Survivors' Centre in Golders Green.

She said: "It’s obvious what an incredible job the staff do and how much everyone enjoys being at the Centre. and it’s been great fun to be a part of this year’s Great Jewish Bake Day again.”

The proceeds will be used to fund various initiatives like the Jewish care buses. The current 15 buses make more than 10,000 journeys each year to community centres and centres for people living with dementia.

Jewish Care chief executive Daniel Carmel-Brown said: “People of all ages from across the community have been having a great time getting together to enjoy cake whilst raising, the buses are a real lifeline to hundreds of older people, many of whom would otherwise be isolated."
