We are so pleased to have raised such a good amount for Macmillan Cancer Support, in the space of a short coffee morning. Every pound counts and will make such a difference to people living with cancer. We want to thank everyone who baked, came and made it such a success.

Macmillan is almost entirely funded by donations and simply cannot support the growing number of people with cancer who need them, without the public’s help. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. There are over 2.5 million people living with cancer in the UK and this is set to grow to almost 4 million by 2030.

Support people with cancer in your community to live life as fully as they can, by joining in Macmillan’s Coffee Morning this September. For more information go to:  www.macmillan.org.uk/coffee

Macmillan is the UK’s leading cancer supporter charity giving personal, one to one care and support to thousands of people every day. Macmillan are the only charity supporting anyone, no matter their age, where they live and or their cancer diagnosis. We’re here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, providing physical, financial and emotional support. So whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
