At Astle Paterson we are pleased to announce that after the success of last year (where we were raised a total of £250) we are having another Macmillan Coffee Morning, on Friday 25th September 2015 at our offices at Clay House, 5 Horninglow Street, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire DE14 1NG to which everyone is invited.
The request for willing volunteers in Astle Paterson to make cakes and other goodies has already been sent out. With some fantastic bakers amongst the members of staff, recipes are now being dusted off for such treats as Coffee and Walnut cake, Lemon Drizzle, Victoria Sponge, Chocolate Sponge, Tray Bakes, Fairy and Cup Cakes, Biscuits and Scones.
The Macmillan Coffee Morning is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event where people across the UK hold the coffee morning to raise money for people living with cancer.
The Coffee Morning will be a great excuse for the staff members at Astle Paterson, their clients and the public to get together for coffee and cake, and raise money for the good cause.
To put the donations into perspective, £25 pays for a Macmillan nurse to support a family affected by cancer for one hour, £61 pays for 4 hours for a Macmillan benefits adviser to help someone struggling with the costs of cancer, £278 could keep a Macmillan information and support centre stocked for a month with all the resources it needs to support people affected by cancer and £370 could pay for the hire of a room for a year so a self-help and support group could hold regular meetings.
Please come along to Astle Paterson’s Macmillan Coffee Morning at Clay House, 5 Horninglow Street, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire on Friday 25th September 2015 from 10:30am onwards to have a slice of cake, a nice bun or just a warming cup of coffee and support this worthwhile cause.
