The World's Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fundraising event. Last year 43,000 people registered to hold a coffee morning, raising £7.9 million across the UK.  This year the charity is hoping to raise over £8million to help change the lives of people affected by cancer.  The event started in 1990, when a local fundraising committee decided to hold a coffee morning where people came along to meet and mingle The first National World’s Biggest Coffee Morning was in 1991, when 2,600 people registered to hold coffee mornings across the country. Since then it has raised over £60 million in total for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Head Teacher at Ffynone House School, Nicola Walker, commented, “Ffynone House School enjoys an excellent reputation for hosting charitable events in the local community. We are glad to be able to put on an event in support of this extremely worthy charity.”
