Care home has a 'latte' fun at Macmillan coffee morning

Staff and residents at Denmead Grange in Denmead held a charity coffee morning and bake sale on September 25 to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Having a coffee morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.

Residents enjoyed spending time with friends and relatives, and members of the local community.  Head chef, Craig had baked lots of lovely cakes, biscuits and pastries for everyone to sample and for guests to buy to take home.  Some residents had baked cakes and biscuits for the occasion too along with their visitors and members of the community, everyone was spoilt for choice! We had a fabulous Singer who entertained us all morning with some great classic songs.

Denmead Grange’s coffee morning was a big success - they managed to raise lots of money and, most importantly, everyone had a great time doing it!

Abbie Johnston, General Manager at Denmead Grange Care Home, said: “Our Macmillan coffee morning has been a huge amount of fun, everyone at the home is always keen to support this fantastic charity in any way we can. We are very glad to be able to do our bit to raise further awareness for MacMillan and money for the charity.”

Wendy, a resident at the home, commented: “MacMillan is such a fantastic charity and they do such amazing work in the community, we all love raising money for them and the best bit is, we get to each cake at the same time!”
