Business centre shows support to Macmillan
Almost £400 has been donated to Macmillan Cancer Support by customers at Warwickshire County Council’s Eliot Park Innovation Centre.
The money - which was raised through a charity bbq, Christmas raffle and clothing sale - was given to the charity in a cheque presentation ceremony at the centre.
Sarah Darby, fundraising manager at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “the generous donation made by customers of Eliot Park Innovation Centre will help us provide valuable support to people in Nuneaton and the wider region. We’re very grateful for their donation and continued support.”
Duncan Haldane, manager of Eliot Park Innovation Centre, said: “cancer affects all of us in some way or another and Macmillan provides an invaluable service to people affected by the disease and their families. We’re proud to support the charity and the local community with this donation.”
On 24 September, Eliot Park Innovation Centre will be taking part in the ‘world’s largest coffee morning’ to raise further funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
People are invited to attend the event between 10:00 am and 12:30 pm to show their support with a donation and by sampling a piece of home-made cake and to have a coffee or tea.
Last year, Macmillan’s ‘world’s largest coffee morning’ took place at over 850 venues across the country and raised more than £7.9 million for people living with cancer.
