Why do you do it?

Have you held a coffee morning in the past? Are you planning to hold one this year? Then we'd love it if you would share with us the reasons why you decided to hold a coffee morning. What was it that inspired you to get involved? We want to share your stories on the World's Biggest Coffee Morning website.

 

What it's all for...

could pay for a Macmillan nurse for an hour, providing essential medical, practical and emotional support.

could buy a liquidiser for someone who can't eat solid food as a result of their cancer treatment.

  

could help run a large Macmillan information and support centre for an hour.

could pay for a Macmillan nurse for a day, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential support.

could pay for travel and accommodation for a support group member to attend a dealing with loss workshop.

could pay for a Macmillan Grant that helps a family affected by cancer take a holiday and enjoy precious time together.

 

Why be a part of it?

Macmillan Cancer Support helps improve the lives of people affected by cancer, both those living with cancer and also their families and carers.

Today, more people in the UK are living with cancer and one in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives. Cancer affects us all and we can all help to make people's experience of it better.

Our ambition

We want to be able to reach every single person who is diagnosed with cancer and to be there for them at every stage of their cancer journey, no matter who they are, what part of the country they live in, or what type of cancer they have. We will reach them by helping to make life better, in however large or small a way, through our services.

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 – people who really get what you’re going through because many of them have been there themselves – ready to support you every step of the way.

That’s who we are. We provide medical, emotional, practical and financial support and we push for a better cancer care system. For anyone, at any time, for as long as you need us, we’re the team that gives you the strength and energy to face the fight and get through it.

My Macmillan nurse, Amanda, was brilliant, putting me at ease about my treatment and on bad days just allowing me to fall apart in her arms... I wasn't alone.bgblockquoteend
