Lift a cup to raise cash for charity
Boosting funds for Macmillan Cancer Care is a piece of cake for Renfrewshire fundraisers.
Last year an incredible £78,000 was raised in Renfrewshire for the good cause by people taking part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.
This year, charity bosses are hoping for more of the same by urging people to get involved in the event this month.
Macmillan’s fundraising manager for Renfrewshire, Julia Perrie, said: “Macmillan is there to help from the moment someone is diagnosed with cancer and the support we provide is vital.
“From the nurses we fund within the NHS, to the benefits advisors we fund in local communities, we want to be there for everyone who needs us.
“It’s only thanks to the incredible generosity of people taking part in events like the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning that we’re able to be there for people at the toughest time of their life.
“The people of Renfrewshire have always got behind the event and we hope to see even more of them taking part this year.”
In Renfrewshire, Macmillan runs library information and support services, Macmillan Move Move Classes and funds five cancer nurse specialists at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley.
The official date of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Friday, September 27, but people can sign up and host their own coffee morning whenever suits them.
