Our Macmillan Coffee Morning

This post was written by: Susan Clements

Macmillan is a charity which strives to help anyone affected by cancer – from helping patients get through their treatment to talking to family members about what to expect. They provide support and a friendly face when one is needed and much, much more. Every year in September, Macmillan promotes a Coffee Morning to help raise money. Aston Bond participated in this years’ Macmillan Coffee Morning here in Slough and successfully raised £219.35! Last year Aston Bond raised £170 which means we have beaten our target.

We had staff members compete in a bake-off with one of Aston Bond’s trainee solicitors winning top prize for her colourful and tasty rainbow cake. Not only did we raise money by holding the Coffee Morning, we also went to our close by neighbours offering cake for a small donation. We also had games to play such as; ‘Guess the Celebrity Baby Face’, ‘Cup-Pong’ and a ‘Raffle’. All-in-all, the Coffee Morning was a success. No one should have to face cancer alone, so please help donate what you can to help people get through cancer.

A big thank you to Creams in Slough for donating a Chocolate Fudge Cake to help raise money.
