Friday, 14 August 2009 GROUPS and work colleagues are being encouraged to stick on the kettle for charity next month.
People across South Cumbria and Millom are invited to take part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on Friday, September 25. The event is organised by Macmillan Cancer Support. Donations help fund vital cancer services, from specialist nurses and doctors, to grants and advice for people with cancer who have financial problems. The charity says participants can have a traditional coffee morning at home or work, or organise a glamorous coffee-themed evening. Some even serve up smoothies or herbal tea instead of coffee. Organisers say some people don’t hold their event on the official coffee morning day, but just organise it at a time that suits them.
The charity said the most important thing is that all the money raised will help improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
