SINCE 1990, the Macmillan Coffee Morning has brought together millions of people from across the UK to have fun and raise money for a good cause.
The first coffee morning was a small affair with a simple idea: guests would gather over coffee and donate the cost of their drink to Macmillan. A spokesperson for the charity said: “It was so effective, we did it again the next year – only this time nationally.
“Now Coffee Mornings come in all shapes and sizes. From small home gatherings to large corporate events; school fundraisers to a gathering with a local community group. They all have one thing in common – they raise vital funds to support the more than 3 million people in the UK living with cancer.
“As well as traditional Coffee Morning get togethers, we’ve seen kitchen discos, chai afternoon teas and even wild swimming cake baking!
“It’s your Coffee Morning, your way and no fundraiser is too big, or too small to make a difference.
“Macmillan Cancer Support is 98% funded by voluntary donations. So, however you choose to host your Coffee Morning, it will help us continue to support people living with cancer.
“Together, we help people living with cancer find their best way through, from the moment they’re diagnosed, through treatment and beyond.
“Coffee Morning is usually the last Friday of September each year. This year’s Coffee Morning day is Friday, 27th September. However, you can host any time of the year, whenever suits you best.”
