Wolverhampton charity invites community to Macmillan Coffee Morning
Secret Angels hopes to build on its £28,000 fundraising total at annual event
Secret Angels is inviting the Wolverhampton community to its annual Macmillan Coffee Morning, with this year's event taking place at Dunstall Hill Community Centre on Sunday, September 27.
The event, running from 3pm to 7pm, follows the success of last year's coffee morning, which raised £4,403.26 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Secret Angels has now raised £28,460.96 for the charity over the years, thanks to the support of local residents, businesses, volunteers and supporters.
Visitors to this year's event can enjoy tea, coffee, pink tea, karak chai and bubble tea, along with cakes, sweet treats, hot food and savoury dishes.
There will also be mendhi and face painting, games, a lucky dip, raffle prizes, family activities and community stalls selling handmade crafts, gifts and local goods.
Special guests will include Deputy Lieutenant Martin Levermore MBE DL and Wolverhampton North East MP Sureena Brackenridge.
Alvina Ali, founder of Secret Angels, said the event was about bringing people together to support those affected by cancer.
"Cancer affects so many people in our community, whether personally or through a loved one," she said.
"Our Macmillan Coffee Morning is about bringing people together to show support, raise awareness and make a real difference.
"We are incredibly proud to have raised £28,460.96 for Macmillan Cancer Support over the years and would like to thank every volunteer, supporter, donor and local business that has helped us reach this milestone.
"The generosity shown by our community year after year is truly inspiring."
Organisers have also thanked vendors, stallholders, volunteers, sponsors and local businesses for donating raffle prizes, gifts, refreshments, services and other resources.
All money raised from the coffee morning will go to Macmillan Cancer Support to help provide services, emotional care and practical assistance to people affected by cancer.
The event is open to everyone and will be held at Dunstall Hill Community Centre, Wolverhampton, WV6 0NH.
