Forget The Great British Bake Off – at Macmillan’s coffee morning your sponge will taste all the better for raising money for a great cause.

This Friday, the world’s biggest annual event of this kind will be raising funds for the 2.5million UK residents who currently have cancer.

Macmillan Cancer Support provides medical, practical, financial and emotional support and campaigns for better cancer care.

Last year, the charity raised £25million for those in need – can you help beat that this year?

Whether you’re putting on a coffee morning yourself in Newham, or heading to one to enjoy a cuppa yourself, be sure to let us know.
