Want your colleagues to get behind a good cause and strengthen your team at the same time?

And now’s as good a time as ever - with Macmillan hosting “The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning” on September 26th.
First founded in 1911, Macmillan Cancer Support has grown to become the largest cancer care and support charity in the UK. With 98% of Macmillan’s income generated solely from donations - they rely on the help of volunteers and fundraisers to support their essential work. Cancer’s severe effects impact upon people’s lives in many ways. Macmillan work to provide support from diagnosis to recovery - helping cancer sufferers maintain as much control over their lives as possible. From providing counselling and guidance to financial help for those who have lost their job due to cancer, Macmillan are there 24/7 to support people struggling through an incredibly tough ordeal.
With their first coffee morning held in 1990, Macmillan’s coffee mornings have gone on to be their biggest fundraising event yet. Their coffee mornings can be held at any time, by anyone - all you need to do is register and organise your very own event! The premise is simple. Lay on a spread with coffee, tea and cakes - even sandwiches if you’re feeling fancy - and ask your colleagues or friends to make a donation to Macmillan instead of paying for their drinks and snacks.
So now you’re well informed and prepared to start raising money, why not see if you can push your donations to the max? With our tips, you can make your office coffee morning a huge success:
