Coffee, Cake and Community Time!

The World’s Biggest Coffee Event for Macmillan will take place on Friday September 27, 2024 2pm – 4pm at the Fishbourne Centre. The event will include musical entertainment from local ukulele group, Struan Strummers, and others. We hope folks from the village and further afield will be able to join us again this year for this community event which has been taking place in the village for more than a decade.

Donations of cake for the event are welcome on the day from 1pm. An ingredients list is appreciated. Please put your name and a contact number on any containers.

Early in the afternoon, we will have music from the local ukulele group, Struan Strummers led by Rick Hales, and with special guest guitarist and singer John Gleadall.

Bring your pencils and pens if you would like to take part in decorating the teacup board for St Richard’s Hospital. You can also design your own teacup and cake shapes.

This national fundraising event is so important as three million people are living with cancer in the UK, and more than 360,000 are diagnosed every year, according to the charity. Many millions of people rely on help from Macmillan to support them and their families as they go through treatment.

The Struan Strummers, led by Richard Hale, are currently based in West Ashling, and have been supporting good causes for many years.
