Macmillan to host World's Biggest Coffee Morning this weekend at M&S Imperial Park
Posted on: 26 Sep 2018Cake lovers rejoice: M&S Bristol is gearing up for its first annual coffee morning event in aid of Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on Friday 28th September. Customers are invited to join in the fun and help change lives with delicious coffee & cake.
Macmillan's World's Biggest Coffee morning is their biggest fundraising event of the year, organised in aid of the hundreds of thousands of people facing cancer in the UK. People all over the UK are asked to host their own coffee mornings and raise money for the charity alongside the huge coffee mornings being run at key locations around the country. Last year saw £27 million raised and the organisers are confident that they can match that total in 2018.
M&S is a long-standing supporter of Macmillan Cancer Support, sponsoring the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, which helps raise crucial funds for people living with cancer and brings communities closer together, for the ninth consecutive year.
The funds raised ensure Macmillan professionals, such as nurses, occupational therapists and dieticians, are able to fully carry out their vital roles in local hospitals and within the local communities. They understand how cancer can affect people’s whole lives – health, money, family, job; everything. Their experience of over 100 years caring for those affected by cancer means that Macmillan staff understand the importance of treating people as individuals, not patients.
A number of tasty treats are available for customers to purchase in Foodhalls throughout September, including a limited-edition Macmillan ‘Colin the Caterpillar’ cake, with 10% of each sale going to Macmillan. In addition, M&S cafes are also donating 5p from every coffee, tea, herbal tea and cake they sell.
Macmillan Cancer Support’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is taking place on Friday 28th September 2018. To get involved visit Macmillan's Coffee Mornings website or join in the conversation on social media using #CoffeeMorning.
