The coffee morning was held by the housing association on the 11th of September.

Lucy Buchanan, the association’s modern apprentice, came up with the idea for the association to take part in the MacMillan Cancer Support World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. She thought it would be best to host the coffee morning alongside a bake sale to cater for everyone in the community.

A wide selection of delicious cakes, tea and coffee were on offer, alongside a raffle and guess the number of cookies in the jar competition. This allowed attendees to win some amazing prizes which included a luxury food hamper, a beauty hamper, beauty voucher and a kids hamper with a Disney Store voucher.

Lucy put forward the idea to the committee and staff who gave their full support with this great idea to help support a great cause, one which affects so many of us.

The community pulled together and we received generous donations of cakes to sell and a beautiful bouquet to include in the raffle.

The association would like to congratulate Lucy on her hard work in making the event so successful and raising a fantastic amount of money for a very worthy cause. They would also like to issue a special thank you to the members of the community who donated and the association’s contractors who also made very generous donations.
