Why be part of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning?

-

MAKE time for what really matters by visiting ‘the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ on Friday September 30, and help Macmillan Cancer Support raise over £15million for people affected by cancer. The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan’s biggest fundraisin­g event for people facing cancer. The charity asked people all over the UK to host their own coffee mornings, so look out for local signs and pop in for a cuppa and cake. All donations on the day will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. This year Macmillan needs more people than ever before to get involved. Whether it’s a coffee morning at work, an afternoon tea party with the girls or a great British bake off, every donation will help Macmillan’s ambition to ensure that no one has to face cancer alone. 01631 565141 Fionnphort, Isle of Mull 01681 700470 Proudly supporting Macmillan Cancer 01499 302995 Pleased to be supporting Macmillan Cancer 01631 562071 Proud to Support Macmillan Cancer Over the years, people around the world have gone to extreme lengths to make their coffee morning a success. Hosts have made time for a coffee whilst climbing Mount Kilimanjar­o, trekking the Great Wall of China, swimming with sharks and one keen supporter even hosted a nudist coffee morning – all in aid of Macmillan. At 23 years old, World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is not only Macmillan’s flagship fundraiser, but it is the original and most successful charity fundraisin­g event of its kind. Since then, the coffee morning has raised over £138 million for Macmillan. The first ever coffee morning happened way back in 1990. It was a rather small affair with a simple idea: guests would gather over coffee and donate the cost of their cuppa to Macmillan in the process.

In 2012, more than 5 million people around the UK hosted or attended a coffee morning, raising a record breaking £15 million. Last year alone Macmillan raised £25 million and this year they are aiming to raise even more. There are now 2.5 million people in the UK living with cancer. By 2030, it will be 4 million people, and Macmillan want to be there for them all. ‘One in three of us will get cancer, and it will be one of the toughest things we’ll ever have to face,’ the Macmillan website explains: ‘The money you raise at your coffee morning will help us make sure no one has to face it alone. ‘We provide medical, emotional, practical and 0797980540­7 Proud to be supporting Macmillan Cancer 01631 564203 Happy to Support the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning 01688 302103 Happy to Help the Macmillan Charity 01631 566332 Very Pleased to Help the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning 01631 562787 Glad to Help Macmillan Cancer Support 01631 571221 Happy to Help Macmillan Cancer Support Happy to Support such a worthwhile cause 01631 566220 07766 757013 Happy to support Macmillan Cancer financial support, as well as campaignin­g for better cancer care.
