Macmillan Cancer Support from coffee mornings continues
You may have been aware that the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning campaign was run again very successfully this year by the Macmillan Cancer Support team. All over the country, coffee mornings were held, big and small, to raise funds for the charity. Although the charity received donations from a series of events around September and October, the official date for the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning was 30 September.
Although this date has now passed, there is still a great enthusiasm for the charity and coffee mornings continue to support the good work it does. For example, a coffee morning has been planned for a little later in the month by Diane and Peter Wheatley. They are apparently holding the event at a pub called the Red Lion in West Deeping.
There is much to entice and entertain visitors – as well as the obvious beverages and cakes to nibble on, stalls will also make gifts and treats available (especially useful in the run up to Christmas), including items such as Christmas cards and jewellery. There will also be a raffle at the event. The money raised from the coffee morning will go to the Stamford and Peterborough branch of the organisation.
This is indeed a great cause. Did you realise that it is said that a third of us will develop cancer during our lifetimes? Victims and also their families would benefit from the support of the Macmillan Cancer Support organisation – nurses and therapists would help during the treatment and there are specialists at hand to help to explain the benefits for cancer sufferers too.
