Every year, millions of people across the UK come together to enjoy coffee, cake, and conversation for a great cause.
The first Coffee Morning happened in 1990. It was a small affair with a simple idea: guests would get together for coffee and donate the cost of their drink to Macmillan. It was so effective, they did it again the next year – only this time nationally.
Now Coffee Mornings come in all shapes and sizes. From small home gatherings to large corporate events; school fundraisers to a gathering with a local community group. They all have one thing in common – they raise vital funds to support the almost 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer.
Why it matters:
- Funds raised provide practical, emotional, and financial support to those affected by cancer.
- Every cup of coffee and every slice of cake helps make a real difference.
- It’s an opportunity to connect with your community and support people during a difficult time.
How to take part:
- Host a coffee morning at home, at work, or in your local community.
- Encourage donations from friends, family, or colleagues.
- Share photos or videos on social media using the official hashtags to raise awareness and inspire others.
