MARKS & Spencer Cheshire Oaks are joining forces with Macmillan Cancer Support as the official partner of Macmillan’s annual fundraising event, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on Friday, September 28.

Now in its 22nd year, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning encourages people to get together with friends, family and colleagues to enjoy a slice of cake and a coffee to help raise more than £10.8m to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Between Wednesday, September 5, and Wednesday, October 3, customers can go to more than 280 M&S cafes around the country and support the campaign by buying from a range of eight products, including the new Belgian chocolate and orange cake; triple-layer white chocolate and cherry cake; ham hock and piccalilli sandwich; and flat white coffee.

Ten pence of the sale price of each product, and 50p for every coffee sold on Friday, September 28, the day of ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’, will be donated to Macmillan.

James Maddison-Neil, M&S cafe manager for Cheshire Oaks, said: “It’s amazing to think how much of a difference something as simple as a cup of coffee or a piece of cake can make to the lives of millions, and we’re delighted to be working with Macmillan Cancer Support in the lead up to the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

“We hope all our customers come into our M&S cafes throughout September and help support this great cause.”
