Care home cooks up a golden treat ahead of the world’s biggest coffee morning for Macmillan

Chefs at Colten Care’s Chichester nursing home have taken inspiration from Willy Wonka to support the Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

Visitors will be raising a mug at Wellington Grange in Broyle Road at the annual charity get-together tomorrow (Friday) and will be served fresh, homemade cupcakes. One of these will be a special ‘Golden Cupcake’, containing gold sugar balls through the middle.

As well as a bottle of bubbly, the lucky recipient will be entered into a draw involving other Colten Care homes, with the chance to win a £500 prize. The overall winner will land £250 in shopping vouchers with Colten Care making an equivalent donation to Macmillan on their behalf.

Chef Matt Jerrard said: “We all love the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the idea of a golden ticket. We thought the chance to win a golden cupcake would add even more interest to the coffee morning.”

The ‘world’s biggest coffee morning’ will be taking place on Friday, September 27. There are a number of mornings being held around the area including:

Rother Valley together are hosting at ‘The Grange’ Midhurst from 10am till noon.

A morning will be held on Saturday, September 28 at the Midhurst Methodist Church from 12pm until 3pm.

Sunday, September 29, Jacqui Morey will be hosting at 2, Ursula Avenue in Selsey.

Monday, September 30 there will be a morning held at ‘The Lighthouse’ a fish and chip shop in Parklands, Chichester between 10am and 12.30pm.
