There aren’t any Lesley. All monies raised will be used in the UK.
I don’t mean to be pedantic and I know I’ll sound like ‘PD’
BUT the actual title is
Macmillan Cancer Support…The nurses are only one of the services they provide....both OH and myself are ex Macmillan fundraisers
In both 2008 and 2009, large World's Biggest Coffee mornings were held at Akrotiri and Episkopi
The World's Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fundraising event. They ask people across the UK - and sometimes further afield - to hold a coffee morning, where donations on the day are made to Macmillan. In 2011 51,000 people signed up to coffee morning, raising a record £10 million.
There are currently 2 million people living with cancer in the UK. By 2030 there will be 4 million. We want to make sure we're there for all of them.
One in three of us will get cancer and for most it will be the toughest thing we ever face. When you’re facing the toughest fight of your life, you need a team of inspiring people in your corner with you.
That’s who they are. They provide medical, emotional, practical and financial support and they push for a better cancer care system. They are the team that gives you the strength and energy to face the fight and get through it.
