In June, David encouraged members to support the local branch of Women's Aid.

The page is now raising funds for the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice. "We would love you to donate and take a picture of your family baking in the kitchen with a big thumbs up," organsiers said.

To make a donation, visit the JustGiving page or for more information, see Home cooking recipes with David Simpson on Facebook.
