Have a cuppa or two and raise vital charity funds

I can’t wait to take part in Macmillan Cancer Support’s Coffee Morning 2022, and I’d love to encourage everyone to join me in raising a mug to mark the record-breaking annual fundraiser.

Wherever you are, and whatever your background, most of us have been impacted by cancer in some way.

It’s a scary thought that one in two of us will be diagnosed with the disease at some stage in our lives.

A cancer diagnosis can be terrifying, and even more so in the current climate as cancer patients face potential disruption or delays to treatment and worry about how they can pay their bills.

The fact is people across the capital affected by cancer need Macmillan’s support now more than ever before.

It’s fantastic that by simply hosting or attending a coffee morning – or even picking up a coffee morning treat from your local Costa or M&S – you can play an invaluable role in helping Macmillan be there for those most in need.

Times are tough for us all, but even the smallest gesture can make the biggest difference.

Every year, Macmillan supporters up and down the country help raise millions of pounds just by taking part.

Every penny raised plays a vital role in enabling Macmillan – who are funded almost entirely by donations – to continue to provide emotional, financial and clinical support.

This year’s Macmillan Coffee Morning will be on Friday 30th September, but please get involved whenever and wherever you can.

Do something amazing today. Sign up to host a Macmillan Coffee Morning, or find a coffee morning near you, at coffee.macmillan.org.uk
