World’s Biggest Coffee Morning
Join the World's Biggest Coffee Morning - sip, savour, and support a magnificent cause in aid of Macmillan cancer support!
Introduction
Get ready to raise your mugs high, and join everyone around the world for the World's Biggest Coffee Morning on the last Friday in September. This global gathering blossomed from a small seed in 1990 when a local Macmillan fundraising committee decided to host a coffee morning where people came along, donated the cost of their coffee to Macmillan, and the idea swiftly grew into a national institution. It's now one of the UK's longest-running and most loved fundraising events. But it's not all about coffee! Whether you're a tea enthusiast, crazy about cakes, or just love a good chit-chat, the World's Biggest Coffee Morning is the perfect occasion for communities to come together and support Macmillan's extraordinary efforts for people battling cancer. So go ahead, brew, bake, and most importantly, have fun for a noble cause!

Donate to coffee communities
Honor the coffee growers behind your favourite morning brew by making a donation to a charity that supports coffee farming communities, ethical and sustainable farming practices, or provides assistance to coffee growers who are facing the impacts of climate change.
