Barking's Biggest Coffee Morning raises £100 for Macmillan


The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning came to Barking last week (25th September) in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support.

Staff and visitors to the Dagenham Motors showroom on Ripple Road, helped to raise £100 by taking part in the annual “World’s Biggest Coffee Morning” appeal, which encourages local people to ‘boil’, ‘bake’ and ‘take a break’ to raise vital funds for the charity.

The money was raised through the sale of coffee and cakes to staff, customers and the local community in return for a donation to the charity.

General Manager Rob Dier said of the event: “We really wanted to support Macmillan as it is a charity that is often overlooked but is invaluable to cancer sufferers and their families. We had a great turn out and are so pleased that we could help raise money for such a worthy cause”.

Last year, more than 45,000 people held coffee mornings and together with their family, friends and colleagues, raised over £7.5 million towards practical, medical, financial and emotional support to help change the lives of those in need.
