A cake delivery service run by Muslim volunteers has raised more than £75,000 for humanitarian aid in Syria.

Islamic Relief's Cakes4Syria appeal has been taking place during the fasting month of Ramadan.

More than 15,000 cakes have been delivered across the UK, raising £76,705.

Cakes4Syria was launched in Bradford last year by trainee solicitor Sibbat e Noor, an Islamic Relief volunteer.

The scheme has expanded from just a few volunteers to a call centre with 30 staff and 130 drivers across the country, all of whom are volunteers.

Sibbat, 23, said: "It's just brilliant. I can't believe it's gone national. The response we've had this year has been almost overwhelming.

"The atmosphere on the team here in Bradford is excellent, we are really pulling together to do something for the people of Syria."

Islamic Relief is an international aid and development charity that aims to alleviate the suffering of the world's poorest people in over 30 countries, mainly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The charity is distributing food and medicines in Syria and helping thousands of refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq.

Zia Salik, Islamic Relief's community fundraising and volunteer manager, said: "It's the last few days of Cakes4Syria and we'd urge everyone - Muslims and non-Muslims alike - to order one of these tasty treats and support Syrians in desperate need. Your order will help Islamic Relief to do life-saving work in Syria."

Cakes cost £10, with £5 donated to Islamic Relief's Syria appeal. Orders can be placed by calling 01274 952144.

The order line will close on July 25 at 5pm, with the last cakes to be delivered on July 27.
