Macmillan Coffee Morning events taking place across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden
Macmillan Coffee Morning is back this month, with events taking place across the north of the county.
The first Coffee Morning back in 1990 started with the very simple idea of guests getting together for coffee and donating the cost of their drink to Macmillan.
It was so effective that the charity 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 and local community groups hosting them.
Yet 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.
This year's Coffee Morning is taking place on Friday, September 25, but people can hold their events on or around that date.
A spokesman for Macmillan said: “Join us this Coffee Morning and help us do whatever it takes to help everyone with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are.”
Events with tea, coffee and cake are taking place across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden.
Iris Tinto contacted the Northants Telegraph with details of her forthcoming fundraiser.
She said: “My friend Kate and I are hosting a community coffee morning on Saturday, September 26 from 11.30am to 1.30pm to raise awareness and funds for the MacMillan Cancer Charity.
"It will be held at The Church of Christ, Beanfield Avenue/Greenhill Rise, Corby.”
