Mayor stirs up Wokingham support for World's Biggest Coffee Morning

Wokingham Borough Council’s mayor Cllr Annette Drake is giving everyone in the borough a chance to chatter over a cup of coffee and raise funds for charity on Thursday September 27.

Cllr Drake will be hosting her very own Wokingham coffee morning between 10.30am and 12.30pm at the Mall, Civic Offices, Shute End, Wokingham to support the Macmillan Cancer Relief’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. Tea, coffee and cakes will all be served in return for donations.

Every year 270,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. World's Biggest Coffee Morning is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK, with an estimated 2 million people raising their mugs for Macmillan last year.

The charity provides practical, medical, emotional and financial support and campaigns for better cancer care.

Cllr Drake said: “All funds raised from World’s Biggest Coffee Morning will ensure that Macmillan can be there for even more people affected by cancer who desperately need their help. Every cup will help improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

“I hope that many local people and staff at the borough council will come along to join friends or colleagues over a cup of coffee whilst raising money for a good cause.”

Any residents who would like to donate cakes for the coffee morning, should contact Ruth Collins on (0118) 974 6007.
