On Friday 25th September Bluebird Care Bournemouth & Poole will be backing Macmillan Cancer Support by holding their very own coffee morning for their staff and customers as part of the annual “World’s Biggest Coffee Morning” event.
Research by Macmillan revealed that in 2017 2.5 million people in the UK were living with cancer, with this figure set to rise to four million by 2030. In 2018, Macmillan research suggested that over 1,000 individuals are being diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK.
Macmillan’s first ever coffee morning took place in 1990 and since then the fundraising event has raised over £165.5 million for Macmillan Cancer Support. One in every three people will face cancer and the money raised for Macmillan will make sure no one faces cancer alone.
We are inviting our customers, and everyone in our local communities to hold a socially distant or virtual coffee morning, dedicated to raising funds for Macmillan. This could be in the office, your garden, on the street or even online via a video call! Remember to keep safe and follow the NHS guidelines. We hope that World’s Biggest Coffee Morning will help contribute to Macmillan’s goal of making sure no one has to face cancer alone.
Melanie Cohen, Director of Bluebird Care Bournemouth & Poole, said:
“At Bluebird Care Bournemouth & Poole, we like to support this campaign each year, raising awareness of Macmillan Cancer Support and the incredible work they do. We will be hosting our own ‘virtual coffee morning’ event with our staff and customers, inviting them to enjoy a cup of tea and cake at home and send us their photo. We will make a donation to Macmillan for every photo we receive to help them support people with cancer. We will then share a collage of all the photos with our Bluebird Care Community to bring a smile to everyone’s face.
Why not hold your own socially distant coffee morning? You can’t beat a good cuppa and a slice of homemade cake! We’d love to see everyone’s fundraising efforts, so do email us with your Coffee Morning photos and we’ll upload them onto our social media. Together we can raise funds for Macmillan and help fight cancer.”
