Mansfield MP Ben Bradley urges public to host Macmillan Coffee Mornings
The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning due to take place on September 27, and is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event.
Last year shops and businesses across Mansfield and Warsop hosted coffee mornings as the public helped raise more than £26 million nationally for the cancer charity.

He said: “I’m really looking forward to the world’s biggest coffee morning. It’s a great way to get everyone together and raise money for people living with cancer.
"Macmillan is really close to my heart. My grandad, who recently passed away from cancer, was a regional Macmillan fundraiser and even used to dress up as a clown for their fundraising events when I was a kid, so this is a charity that means a lot to me.
"I’ve ordered my fundraising pack, which includes some great resources. Macmillan provides bunting, balloons, cake decorations and a lot more.
