... Comments

It’s the Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning on the 25th September 2015.  Macmillan Cancer Support started organizing coffee mornings since 1990 to raise funds for this charity.  There were over 154,000 people registered in 2014 and over £20 million was raised for this worthy cause.  Fundraising now includes cycling, walks, quiz nights, and several other events.

 

People around Harrogate are offering the traditional coffee morning set up, but many are also doing several other types of events to raise money for Macmillan.  If you’d like to help raise money and would like to attend one of these events locally, here are a few suggestions:

 

  • The Jubilee Room at the Boroughbridge library will be offering live music and refreshments
  • The Saint George Hotel in Harrogate are doing a Casino Night on the 24th Sept.
  • Passion 4 Flowers are offering refreshments, cakes and games on the 25th Sept
  • Holy Trinity Church in Knaresborough are doing cakes and stalls on the 25th Sept
  • OKA Direct & Cook in Harrogate are doing coffee and cakes and a raffle on 25th Sept
  • Peter Gothard are baking cakes all week, so whether or not you need a haircut, feel free to pop in to buy some cake and have a cuppa.
  • Myrings Estate Agents are offering cakes and refreshments on the 25th Sept
  • Marks & Spencer’s are going to be shaving the hair off of 3 staff members, you will also have the opportunity of throwing sponges at the manager and the café has selected items which will raise a percentage to Macmillan, activities start at about 10am and will run throughout the day on the 25th.

 

If you’d like to start your own fundraising event, why not contact Macmillan for a kit.
