Macmillan Cancer Support World’s Biggest Coffee Morning 2015
– Friday. 25th September 2015.
In this 25th Birthday year Macmillan Cancer Support
has several Banbury events rolling out to raise much needed funds to ensure “no
one faces cancer alone in Oxfordshire and across the UK”.
Macmillan Cancer Support and their “official partner, Marks
and Spencer” have once again invited cake baking enthusiasts to host their own
events inviting family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues to raise funds
over a slice or two of delicious homemade cake, even store-made cake, with that
essential cup of steaming hot coffee, for Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.
To this end, a brand new Coffee Morning Kit for 2015 has
been despatched to all hosts comprising special invites to personalise, a cake
duster for decorating your special bakes, a bright green table covering, money
box for donations plus balloons, cake name tent cards, cake flags, their thank
you table talker and all necessary paperwork to enable you to send in your Event
cheque or Gift Aid form. There is a
Spot-the-Cake sweepstake game to enter and even a text-to-donate kit to apply
for.
M & S – Est. 1884
– now in their 6th year as official partner to Macmillan Cancer
Support, have raised over £4 million to support people affected by cancer and
this year, have produced a great range of store goods to buy with a
donation from each purchase going to Macmillan. And customers may also treat themselves to an
in-store coffee and cake and help raise even more funds for Macmillan in this
25th Birthday Anniversary year, since beginning their fund-raising
campaign in 1991 after a “first local charity coffee morning event donated the
cost of their coffee to Macmillan”.
“In 1991 2,600 people registered to hold coffee mornings across
the country” since when over £138 million has been raised in total, all based
on the “simple idea of getting people together with family, friends or
colleagues over coffee and cake to raise money for people affected by cancer.”

I hosted a Coffee Morning Event myself a few years ago and was
delighted to send them a cheque from funds raised with the help family and
friends. It was all great fun and very
lovely to think we could help others just by making, eating and selling hot
coffee and homemade cakes. Regrettably I
am just not able to host such an event again and when Macmillan called me to
enquire about my event for 2015, I was delighted to tell them that I would do a
Blogger Post for this year’s Campaign and follow up with photos of local events
attended.
With photos to follow from all of those Events I attended, who
very generously allowed my photo-shoots to happen, Blogger Posts to Macmillan
and all local Event hosts and firms involved, I shall be posting again very shortly
and look forward to sharing my photos with all concerned.
And to all Coffee Morning events still to happen today Saturday, 26th September, good luck wth your happenings everywhere and I'm looking forward to visiting more local Banbury-based Coffee Mornings today.
