Gavin Williamson, MP for South Staffordshire, attended one of the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Mornings’ in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Saturday 27th September, hosted by 1st Perton Guides at The Church at Perton.
The Guides prepared tea, coffee and a variety of homemade cakes and also manned a book stall selling second hand books to raise extra money for the charity.
The coffee morning was one of many that had been held across the country to raise money for people living with cancer that are supported by Macmillan. This year’s event has already surpassed the £20 million national total from last year, with money from across the country still coming in.
Gavin said: “I had a wonderful time at the Macmillan Coffee Morning with 1st Perton Guides this weekend. It was great to see them doing something to raise money for such a good cause.
“Macmillan is such a fantastic charity which provides invaluable support to those going through extremely difficult times in their lives and I was proud to see South Staffordshire residents playing their part in supporting them.
“I enjoyed meeting and talking to local residents from across Perton and I would like to thank the church for the use of their facilities and the Guides for hosting a wonderful coffee morning.”
