Care home has a 'latte' fun at virtual Macmillan coffee morning

Staff and Residents at Shelburne Lodge held a charity coffee morning on Friday 25th September to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Having a Coffee Morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. In 2019, an incredible £27.5 million was raised and Macmillan are aiming to top that this year. The money raised at your Coffee Morning will help everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.

This year, as with most things, it was a little different. Shelburne Lodge hosted a virtual coffee morning to and participants came together for BYOT - Bring Your Own Thermos to raise funds.

Residents enjoyed virtual activities with friends and relatives over Zoom/Skype with a quiz over coffee.

Shelburne Lodge’s coffee morning was a big success - they managed to raise £113.00 and, most importantly, everyone had a lot of fun doing it!

Sharon Pither General Manager at Shelburne Lodge Care Home, said: “Holding our own virtual Macmillan coffee morning has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home is always keen to support this fantastic charity in any way we can. We are very glad to be able to do our bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”
