Waterside bakery backs MacMillan

MACMILLAN Cancer Support is delighted to once again have the support of the Leprechaun Bakery, Clooney Terrace for its World's Biggest Coffee Morning event on Friday 24th September.

Staff from the bakery launched their event this week with Macmillan fundraising manager Maria McGleenon, “It’s absolutely fantastic to have the support of the Leprechaun Bakery again this year. They are loyal supporters of Macmillan and always do fantastically well with their coffee morning. We would encourage everyone to support this local business on their coffee morning day and help raise even more money to support local people living with cancer.”

Macmillan Cancer Support is also urging people from across the region to hold their own coffee morning event to help raise thousands of pounds to fund local cancer services.

In 2009 there were 980 Macmillan coffee mornings held across Northern Ireland raising a fantastic 220,000.

But this year the charity is hoping more people in Northern Ireland will Put a Smile on their Mug and hold a coffee morning to raise even more funds.

Helena O’Hagan from the bakery said, “The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is all about getting to raise funds for local people affected by cancer. And there’s loads of great ways you can get friends, family or colleagues involved to raise some money. Getting involved is great fun and all the money raised goes directly to support local people affected by cancer.”

Macmillan is there to help from the moment someone is diagnosed with cancer and the support we provide is vital. Our doctors and nurses offer specialist medical care and emotional support, while our benefits advisors help cancer patients get the government money they are entitled to. Macmillan will even provide grants to people with cancer who are struggling financially.

The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is a really fun event that is really easy to take part in, especially as you can tailor it to suit yourself. If you can’t do it on September 24th then pick another day, if you’re not keen on coffee and would rather have cocktails or even herbal tea then that’s fine as well. All that matters is that you take part and help us raise more money than ever before.
