Get Ready for The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning

Coffee and cake make the perfect blend of comfort, and it’s even more heartwarming when it’s consumed for a cause. The Big Coffee Morning for Macmillan Cancer Support takes place on Friday, September 29th, and is a delicious opportunity to gather customers and colleagues together to make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. It can also be a great way to meet up with colleagues and celebrate your customers, and even bring in some new ones!

Here’s a few ideas to help you host an unforgettable coffee morning.

The official Macmillan Coffee Morning is Friday, September 29, 2023, but you can host when you like. Choose a date that works best for you and your customers or colleagues.

Start creating a buzz by letting people know about your participation in The Big Coffee Morning. Use your website, social media platforms, and in-store displays to build anticipation.

We all know cake is the answer, no matter the question! So be prepared to offer a selection of sweet treats. We have a variety of low-cost options from our Sysco Essential range to suit every budget, dietary requirement, or tastebud. Try our Vegan Chocolate Orange Dessert, Raspberry & White Chocolate Flavour Cheesecake, Carrot Cake, Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Truffle Torte, or Raspberry Bakewell.

Create a welcoming atmosphere by decorating your business with tablecloths, balloons, cake flags, and bunting. Sign up to host a coffee morning to receive your free fundraising and decoration kit on the Macmillan Cancer Support website.

Give your guests something to talk about by adding fundraising initiatives to your day. From quizzes to raffles, donations to collections, you’ll be making a difference for an amazing cause.

Let your customers and colleagues know how much was raised and how it will support Macmillan’s initiatives. Every penny raised at a coffee morning helps Macmillan provide support for people with cancer, with the money going towards Macmillan’s health and wellbeing centres and welfare support phone lines to help people claim the benefits they’re entitled to.

You can also share your favourite Brakes cakes with us on Instagram by tagging @brakesfood for your chance to be featured.

The Big Coffee Morning is not just about sipping coffee and eating cake; it’s about unity, compassion, and support, so let’s raise our cups to make a difference together.
