The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning takes place Friday 27th September and City Health Care Partnership CIC (CHCP CIC) are putting the kettle on to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan Cancer Support’s biggest fundraising event of the year, encouraging people across the UK to hold coffee mornings. In 2012 115,000 people signed up nationwide, raising a record total of £15million.
CHCP CIC provide community health and social care, primary and specialist health care and integrated social care services to over half a million people in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Amongst its many services CHCP CIC provides a Community Macmillan Specialist Palliative Care Team, a nurse-led service for people aged 18 or over who have cancer or other life limiting illnesses.
CHCP CIC’s dental service, City Health Dental, will be holding a coffee morning a day early on Thursday 26th September. Members of the public are encouraged to come along enjoy a coffee and help raise money at the dental practice based on Jameson Street in the Hull city centre.
On Friday CHCP CIC will be involved in two more public coffee mornings, one of these will be at CHCP CIC’s Carers Information and Support Service (CISS), based on King Edward Street. From 9am until 12pm people will be able to pop along for coffee, cakes, a raffle and tombola.
Bev Clark is a Community Macmillan Clinical Nurse Specialist for CHCP CIC and has helped to organise the coffee morning at CISS, she has said “It’s going to be a fantastic morning with lots going on, not just coffee. I am really looking forward to it and hoping to raise a lot of money for the Macmillan cause.”
The other coffee morning on Friday will be at Bransholme Health Centre where nurses from treatment rooms and minor injuries, customer services staff, admin teams, GP surgery staff and even members of security will be joining forces for their own event, which will include the raffle of a giant cupcake.
In addition to these three, CHCP CIC will also be holding a fourth coffee morning at their head office based at Priory Park, to ensure they can raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support.
It doesn’t matter if your preference is coffee or tea, help Macmillan Cancer Support and pop on down for a brew and a slice of cake.
