The Macmillan Coffee Morning is the biggest fundraising event for supporting people who live with cancer and is hosted yearly on 27th September. West Lancashire College recently held their own Macmillan Coffee Morning and were delighted to raise a massive £187 for the worthy charity.
College staff and students took some well-earned time out to come together and enjoy delicious homemade treats including chocolate chip cookies, brownies, chocolate cupcakes and beautiful cakes.
The money raised by the college supports Macmillan’s vital work in helping them to fund their amazing nurses, answer calls on their Support Line, provide financial support and much more.
£71 could help to run the Online Community Forum for over 3 hours, £100 could pay for a person affected by cancer to attend a health and wellbeing event, £350 could pay for a Macmillan grant that helps a family affected by cancer take a holiday and enjoy time together, £646 could pay for a Macmillan Support Worker for a week and £1,202 could pay for a Macmillan Nurse for a week.
Dawn Hughes, Careers & Learner Experience Manager said, “thank you to everyone who baked, bought and attended the event, we are delighted that our donation will go towards supporting people with cancer - emotionally, physically and financially.”
