Macmillan Coffee Morning comes to Judge and Priestley

Every year Macmillan holds their biggest fundraising event asking people across the UK to hold a coffee morning and raise money for people living with cancer. In 2013, 154,000 people signed up, raising a record £20.532 million.

This year, the coffee morning was held on the 26th of September and run by the marketing department at Judge and Priestley. To raise as much money as we could, staff were emailed and asked to mark the date in their diaries and help in providing cakes on the day, either home baked or shop bought.

On that Friday, we organised to have the cakes sold in each kitchen, on every floor at a suggested minimum donation of 50p. But that wasn’t the only trick we had up our sleeves... Everyone was encouraged to take part in the Coffee Bean and Sweepstake games where each participant stood  the chance to win half the proceedings.

We raised in excess of £300, our highest amount raised to date for the Macmillan coffee morning and look forward to continuing our support of such a worthwhile cause.
