World’s Biggest Coffee Morning
WORLD’S BIGGEST COFFEE MORNING, WENVOE 2021
Macmillan has been organising coffee mornings to raise funds for their support with people with cancer since 1990.The first nationwide coffee morning took place in 1991 with 2,600 supporters participating. It has grown to a massive event and in 2016 £29.5 million was raised. The money is spent on running online community forums, enabling a cancer patient to attend a health and well being event, to pay for a holiday for a family affected by cancer, to pay for a Macmillan nurse. The money raised enables Macmillan to support people with a cancer diagnosis to live their lives as fully as they can.
To support this worthwhile charity, a coffee morning was organised in Wenvoe by the
Living with Cancer Strollers and the Page Turners book club. Under bright sunshine, a rarity this summer, the group enjoyed a fantastic variety of home-made cakes: Jenny’s Victoria sponge, Nicola’s brownies, Bethan’s carrot cake cup cakes…..and many more. A raffle was held and the winner of the Prosecco was Trish, who was celebrating her 80th birthday the following weekend. Fun, laughter, gossip…and a huge amount of calories were enjoyed by all. And the excellent news at the end of the afternoon was that as a result of this indulgence in the garden, £245.00 was raised to donate to Macmillan to enable them to continue their good work. Well done everybody
