Cavell Court is asking the people of Cringleford to join in with the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on Friday 29th September to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

From 10.30am-12.30pm, the team at Cavell Court are inviting the community to join residents for a morning of coffee, cake and catch-ups to help raise money for the 2.5 million people living with cancer across the UK.

The event will have a Beauty and the Beast theme with the two protagonists joining residents for the day. The home will also be screening the 2017 adaptation later in the afternoon.

Guests can enjoy a relaxing morning sharing a cuppa with residents, along with a tempting selection of homemade cakes and treats – all of which will be available for a small donation to Macmillan. The home will also be auctioning off the main cake with all proceeds going towards the charity.

Every year Macmillan organises the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in kitchens, offices and village halls across the globe to fundraise for people living with cancer. Since the very first coffee morning in 1990, over £165.5 million has been raised for the charity, enabling it to support individuals from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

Home manager, Richard Lawson, explained why Cavell Court is taking part in the Macmillan Coffee Morning: “The difficulty of facing cancer is a problem most of us know far too well, whether through watching the struggle of a friend or family member, or battling the illness ourselves – so we understand the importance of the work that Macmillan does.

“This coffee morning gives us a wonderful opportunity to invite local people, family and friends to join us for a fun morning, while raising funds to support the vital services provided by Macmillan. It’s set to be a great event, and we hope the local community will join the Care UK team who will have been busy whisking up a storm!”
