Macmillan Coffee Morning

Macmillan Coffee Morning is a nationwide fundraising event in the UK to support Macmillan Cancer Support, which provides care and services for people affected by cancer.

Fun Activities:

• Bake Sale or Bake-Off: Students bake (or decorate) cakes and treats to sell or judge.

• Cake Decorating Station: Let students decorate cupcakes with icing and sprinkles.

• Coffee Cup Art Challenge: Design creative coffee cup sleeves with uplifting messages.

• Kindness Token Jar: Write encouraging notes or wishes for those affected by cancer.

Whole-School Awareness Ideas:

• Host a School-Wide Coffee Morning: Invite staff, parents, and students to attend and donate.

• Macmillan Green Day: Students wear green to raise awareness, with optional donation.

• Assembly or Video Presentation: Share stories about Macmillan’s work and how donations help.

• Decorate the Hall or Classroom: Use Macmillan’s colours (green, white, purple) with posters and bunting.

• Form Time Focus: Use time for discussion around cancer support, empathy, and community action.

• Create a ‘Wall of Support’: Students can write supportive messages on a display board.
