Macmillan Coffee Morning, What’s it all for?

Cancer is the toughest fight most of us will ever face. And as treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives.

The money you raise at the coffee morning will help make sure no one has to face cancer alone, from the moment they’re diagnosed, through treatment and beyond.

It’s Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event, where we ask people across the UK to hold a coffee morning and raise money for people living with cancer.

In 2013, 154,000 people signed up, raising a record £20 million
