Every year Macmillan invites people all over the UK to host a Coffee Morning in order to raise money for those living with cancer.
The official date for the 2020 World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Friday 25 September, but you can hold yours whenever and however you like – even if you’re not in the same room as your guests - with virtual parties and events now possible!
Here, we’ve explained more about how you can get involved and how Cafe2U could help make it a Coffee Morning to remember!
How do you sign up?
You can sign up on the Macmillan website, when you sign up you'll get a free fundraising kit full of goodies to help you organise and prepare for your event. In the kit, you’ll receive bunting, cake decorations, recipes, stickers, a collection box and loads more to make hosting your event a breeze.
You can also sign up to host a social distanced event, a video call or take on the Coffee Morning Challenge. This will see you put your lockdown fitness to good use and support people living with cancer via a run, walk or cycle, before raising a mug to someone you love at the finish line.
Getting your event safely set up
If you are hosting your event in person be prepared to follow government guidelines and make sure you are social distancing.
If you are having your event at your workplace or somewhere similar, find the best place to host - that could be in a conference room, break room or somewhere else in your office with enough space for social distancing. If the weather is good you could also host your event outside and make the most of a coffee morning in the sun.
