staff helps to raise £8m for Macmillan The Blakenall info Centre is hosting a World's Biggest Coffee Morning for Macmillan on Wednesday 30th September between 9.00am and 12.00noon, and would like you to come along to help them to do it! Judy White manager of the centre will be hosting the World's Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Wednesday 30th September and she's inviting everyone to join her for a cuppa and biscuit to help raise £8million for Macmillan. Judy White of the Blakenall info Centre said: "This is a great charity, we are inviting many of our colleagues, users and friends along for a chat and a cuppa, so come along give us Macmillan support, everyone is welcome". Macmillan's Chief Executive, Ciaran Devane, added: "Every penny raised at a coffee morning will help fund more services for people affected by cancer. Your involvement - no matter how small - means there will be enough practical, medical, financial and emotional support to help to change the lives of everyone affected by cancer for the better. And for that, we think you should feel good!" There's no right or wrong way to take part in the World's Biggest Coffee Morning. Whether you throw your own coffee morning like Judy, roll out the tea trolley at work for elevensies with colleagues or lay on a glamorous coffee-themed cocktail evening, it really is up to you. The important thing is everyone who takes part has a great time whilst making a difference. To make that cup of coffee count, register now, go to www.macmillan.org.uk/coffee or call 0845 602 1246.
