The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning takes place on Friday 28th September 2018, and across the UK people will be hosting their own coffee mornings to bring communities closer together and raise money to support Macmillan.

Signing up to host your own coffee morning not only means that you can help Macmillan to help people, it also gives you the chance to support your own local community, bringing people together to share tea and a chat.

This time together helps to cheer up the older members of your community, giving them chance to meet friends, share experiences, and reducing loneliness – which is one of the most difficult and damaging challenges that elderly people face today.

Every year Macmillan help to support up to six million people living with cancer – and this help isn’t just medical care, but everything from emotional support, support for the family of the patient, help with finances and jobs, and so much more.

This care can cost thousands – which is why Macmillan are so grateful to receive support from fundraisers – and the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning not only means that you can be part of their success, but also gives you a chance to get to know the people in your community, and support their emotional wellbeing at the same time.

With our elderly population becoming more and more isolated, these coffee mornings are a wonderful opportunity to sit and chat with an elderly neighbour. Taking the time to share tea and cake can have a huge impact on cheering a person up, giving them chance to chat about their lives, share their stories, and get to know others around them, battling the potential risks of loneliness.

It’s simple to organise your own Macmillan coffee morning – just visit their website and submit your details, then bake and share some delicious treats to support a great cause!.
