Macmillan Coffee Mornings Aim to Raise Funds

Various fundraising coffee mornings are being organized across the UK to support Macmillan Cancer Support, with multiple communities participating in this significant annual event. St Margarets Care Home in Edinburgh is set to host a coffee morning on September 25, inviting the local community to enjoy tea, cakes, and games while raising money for the charity. In Ilminster, a coffee morning held on September 29 raised £4,600, thanks to community efforts and additional fundraising initiatives. The Southern Area Hospice is also encouraging people to host coffee mornings to help raise £3.6 million necessary for its specialist palliative care services. Meanwhile, Macmillan is expanding its fundraising approach through a partnership with the Guardian, promoting innovative and diverse ways to host coffee mornings, including integrating them into existing community events. The campaign aims to inspire broader participation and raise awareness of the cause, showcasing stories of connection and support within communities.
