With great regret, Samantha de Simone notified us that she wished to step down as BAFA Student Officer earlier this year. Samatha has contributed tremendously to engaging BAFA Student Members since she joined the Steering Committee and her enthusiasm greatly helped to grow BAFA as a professional Association. We would like to sincerely thank Samantha for her hard work for the Association.
Following a vote, Conner Welty has been nominated as the new BAFA Student officer of the Association. Big congratulations to Conner and we are sure she will do a great job in her new role! We have counted all the votes of the BAFA Members. As expected it was a close race and a difficult one as all the entries looked great! The winner of the BAFA Bake-off Fundraiser for MISSING PEOPLE Charity is Catherine Maidment with her Chocolate Cake with Fondant Decorations. Congratulations on behalf of the BAFA Steering Committee and MISSING PEOPLE charity with your prize of £100. The runner-up in this close contest is Dr Julie Roberts.

All members are welcome to prepare their "baking gears" and get creative for charity! The event involves baking a "forensic themed" cake/pudding and take a picture of it with yourself, a friend or anyone you wish in it (as proof not downloaded from the internet). Details on how to submit, share and donate for entry will be given out shortly. Members can either bake and donate to enter the competition (from 5£) or donate while voting for their favourite cake. A prize will be given to the winning bake! We look forward to seeing your bakes.  With sadness BAFA learned of the passing of Mary Asprey OBE, co-founder of the UK Missing People charity, on Sunday 28 February 2021. We would like to express our sincere condolences to Mary’s family and trustees, staff and volunteers at the charity. Our members voted for Missing People as the BAFA Charity for 2021. We continue to support the Missing People charity this year through fundraising events and a donation to further their cause.
