Get together with Macmillan Coffee Morning
Sept 27th
Host a Macmillan Coffee Morning and help do whatever it takes for people living with cancer.
What
is Macmillan Coffee Morning?
It’s Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event to support people living with cancer. Since 1990, Coffee Morning has brought together millions of people from across the UK to have fun and raise money for a good cause.
Coffee Mornings come in all shapes and sizes. From small home gatherings to large corporate events; school fundraisers to a gathering with a local community group. They all have one thing in common - they raise vital funds to support the more than 3 million people in the UK living with cancer.
As well as traditional Coffee Morning get togethers, there’s been kitchen discos, chai afternoon teas and even wild swimming cake baking!
This year’s Coffee Morning day is Friday 27th September 2024. However, you can host any time of the year, whenever suits you best.
Macmillan Cancer Support is 98% funded by voluntary donations. So, however you choose to host your Coffee Morning, it will help continue to support people living with cancer. It’s your Coffee Morning and no fundraiser is too big, or too small to make a difference.
2023 - Coffee Mornings raised over £18 million!
