Mayor Supports Macmillan Charity Coffee Morning

Mayor's Press Releases

Come for Coffee and Cake - We Are MacMillan Cancer Charity 

The Mayor of Hailsham joined staff and customers at Bucklers Café last Friday [29th September] for the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, and is grateful to residents and visitors who came along.

Mayor Councillor Nigel Coltman attended the event to show his support, and a whole range of tasty cakes, treats and coffees were on offer at Bucklers Café in St Mary’s Walk.

“It was a wonderful event, and once again the people in Hailsham showed their support, helping to raise money to fund Macmillan’s services,” said Councillor Coltman.

Macmillan Cancer Support’s flagship fundraising event, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, raised a record-breaking £29.5m last year and, now in its 27th year and with the help of fundraisers in Hailsham and organiser Apex Prime Care Hailsham, Macmillan hopes to beat money raised last year across the UK.

Funds from the event will go towards providing practical, financial and healthcare support to people affected by cancer, as well as independent, expert, up-to-date information services to meet the needs of people diagnosed with cancer.

Councillor Coltman added: “Macmillan is such a wonderful organisation. It’s heart-warming to witness everyone getting involved with the charity, helping to raise money and awareness for a very worthy cause.”

“Apex Prime Care Hailsham have put so much hard work into fundraising for this important charity and I am delighted to see such a good turnout at venue hosts Bucklers Café.”

“Nobody should have to face cancer alone and we should all be extremely grateful to the amazing people who fundraise for Macmillan. Every penny raised will provide vital support.”
