MAKE a difference and raise cash for charity, simply by drinking coffee and eating cake this Friday and Saturday.
Macmillan Cancer Support is hosting its ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ with fundraisers around the country serving up coffee and tea and cake, all in aid of the charity. In 2013, many businesses and groups in Melksham joined in the effort as they were among the 154,000 people nationwide that signed up to the coffee morning, raising a record £20.5million.
This year is due to be even bigger and many coffee mornings are being held across Melksham and surrounding villages to support the event. These include:
