Home From Home Care’s Macmillan Coffee Morning saw individuals beat last year’s fundraising target by almost £100!
As part of the national Macmillan Coffee Morning campaign, we hosted two coffee mornings in Bardney and Ruskington. Celebrating community inclusivity. Individuals took an active role in serving drinks, cakes and selling tombola tickets to raise additional funds.
There were also various tabletop games, music and a ‘guess the weight of the cake’ competition for visitors to get involved with.
Celebrating inclusivity
Claire Hanson, Activities and Wellbeing Manager at Home from Home Care, said:
“We’re so pleased with how well our inclusive coffee morning went and how much was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support, beating our previous fundraising target.
“This was an amazing opportunity for all of the individuals to really show what a part of the community they are and give back to a good cause – it was great to see so many of the locals come along and get involved.
“Being socially included is really important to the individuals, so it was wonderful to see everybody come together and celebrate each other for who we are.”
Raising money for an amazing cause
Lindsay Hall, Assistant Manager at Home From Home Care, added:
“So many individuals came along and got involved – making coffee, selling cakes and helping with the tombola. It’s really rewarding for them and helps them to develop their skills, as well as showing their own achievements for helping charities.”
Thank you to everyone who supported our coffee morning and made it such a great community fundraising event. The icing on the cake – we raised a total of £508.78 for Macmillan!
