EVERY MUG COUNTS IN BIGGLESWADE!

The residents of Biggleswade are invited to get together with friends, family and colleagues on Friday 24 September for Macmillan Cancer Support’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning!

 

Last year hundreds of coffee mornings across Bedfordshire raised almost £81,000 to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. Taking part couldn’t be easier, and you don’t have to hold a big event and raise hundreds of pounds. Invite your neighbours in for a coffee, encourage colleagues to bake cakes in the office or if you belong to a club or group simply take donations in return for refreshments at your meeting.

 

You don’t even have to organise a traditional coffee morning if it doesn’t suit you; how about a light lunch, cheese and wine evening or even a garden party. 

 

If you can’t organise your own event be sure to find out where public Macmillan coffee mornings are taking place in your local area. Check out community notice boards, local press and Macmillan’s online events finder at macmillan.org.uk/coffee for details.

 

To raise some money, and a smile, for people affected by cancer register now by calling 0845 602 1246 or visit macmillan.org.uk/coffee
