Tune Protect Sponsor Bake with Dignity 2019

Community Engagement and Energy Conservation Never Smelt So Yummy!

On 14 February 2019, Tune Protect collaborated with the Truly Loving Company (TLC) to sponsor the Bake with Dignity (BWD), a bakery that employs bakers with learning disabilities such as Autism, Down Syndrome and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Employment at the bakery provides their bakers with a great sense of dignity and self-worth because they are given the opportunity to learn new skills and earn an income applying the skills learnt. BWD has a mouth-watering range of cakes, brownies, fudge, crumbles, cookies, pies, just to name a few.

Tune Protect sponsored the purchase and installation of 2 energy efficient air-conditioners to help reduced BWD’s utility bills and its carbon footprint. The lowered utility bills would contribute to lower operational costs, in addition to providing a cooler reception area and other areas as well. The funds sponsored were mainly from the proceeds of the Pre-Loved Charity Bazaar that Tune Protect organized.

After pie making and cupcake frosting sessions, the get-together continued with a “Vegetarian Yee Sang Toss” to wish all in the bakery good health, prosperity, longevity and happiness. The sponsorship event ended on a high note when all the BWD bakers were presented with the Tune Protect Annual EasyCare Personal Accident Coverage specially sponsored by Tune Protect. Each baker was presented with a Certificate to commemorate the first personal accident coverage they received in their lives.

Tune Protect continues to extend our support for BWD by catering for internal events and festive gifts.
