Macmillan Coffee Morning
When: 25 September
Where: Nationwide
The first Coffee Morning happened in 1990. The idea was for guests to get together for coffee and donate the cost of their drink to Macmillan. Now Coffee Mornings come in all shapes and sizes. They all have one thing in common – to raise vital funds to support the almost 3.5m people in the UK living with cancer.
