UKATA to host Macmillan Coffee Morning 25 September 10am – 12noon at Markham Vale Environment Centre. This event is part of the annual campaign from Macmillan Cancer Support, designed to bring people together over a cup of coffee to raise vital funds for cancer research and support services.
The first Coffee Morning happened in 1990. It was a small affair with a simple idea: guests would gather over coffee and donate the cost of their drink to Macmillan. It was so effective, we did it again the next year - only this time nationally.
Now 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.
Local businesses, UKATA members and associates are invited to come along to help raise much needed funds and indulge in homemade cakes and biscuits. In previous years the association has raised more than £600 for the charity in similar events.
On organising the event, UKATA’s Marketing Executive Nathan Shaw says “With the support from the team, we plan to try and exceed our previous fundraising efforts to raise as much as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support, we will even be having a bit of friendly competition between us, with a bake off judged by a special guest”
Whether you’re a coffee lover, a baking enthusiast, or just someone who wants to make a positive impact, we welcome you to be part of this special day. If you cannot attend but still wish to contribute, donations can be made here.
