Macmillan Coffee Morning – The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning

This years’ Macmillan Coffee Morning was so awesome!

A few weeks ago now, we advertised on social media that we would supply the coffee for your Macmillan Coffee Morning, for free. All we asked for in return was some photos of your coffee morning. You certainly did not disappoint!

Macmillan Cancer Support

The charity was founded in 1911 and was known then as the Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer. It was founded by Douglas Macmillan whose father had passed away from the disease. Since then its name has changed to Macmillan Cancer Support.

What Its All About

“The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning” Is a fundraising event created by Macmillan Cancer Support. People up and down the country get involved, and all donations raised go straight to Macmillan. The grand total for 2018’s coffee morning was almost £27 million!

The first Macmillan coffee morning was held in 1990. It started with a simple idea. People simply meet up for a coffee and then donate the cost of their brew to Macmillan. Loads of people got involved in this event so, in 1991 they took the event nationally. Fast forward to now and over £200 million has been raised for Macmillan Cancer Support as a result of this event.

How We Got Involved

As mentioned, we offered to supply speciality coffee to anyone who was organising a Macmillian coffee morning, free of charge. All we asked was that you shared your day with us by sending us some photos. The aim of doing so was so we could share this offer with the world and to get even more people involved next year through this blog post.
