Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning needs you!

Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is 30 years old this year and it’s no exaggeration to say Macmillan and people with cancer have never needed our help more than they do now.

Last year people in Yorkshire raised over £1.8 million by taking part in Coffee Morning, to fund the charities vital services like Macmillan nurses, Macmillan support line and their Macmillan Information Centres.

This year, figures show the number of people planning to hold a Coffee Morning across Yorkshire has fallen by a staggering 74%. Almost all of Macmillan’s income is from donations and events like Coffee Morning. While Coffee Morning can’t take place in exactly the same way as before, there are still lots of ways to get involved, including:

• Virtual Coffee Morning – take your Coffee Morning online.
• Raise a mug – raise a mug to a loved one affected by cancer or to someone who’s supported you. Simply upload a selfie and message to Macmillan’s Raise a Mug wall online, make a donation and share your support for people living with cancer.
• Make a donation online or over the phone – macmillan.org.uk or call 0300 1000 200
• Buy a Macmillan themed Colin – pop to M&S and buy a ‘Macmillan themed’ Colin the Caterpillar cake, with 10% of the cost going to Macmillan.

Cancer hasn’t gone away and there has never been a more terrifying time to receive a cancer diagnosis, every coffee morning can change lives.
