☕️ Cake and coffee for Macmillan ☕️

We’ve enjoyed an abundance of cake today to help raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Since 1990, Coffee Morning has brought together millions of people from across the UK to have fun and raise money for a good cause.

Together, with the rest of Swan Mill Group, we have taken part in the nationwide coffee morning and can’t wait to find out how much we’ve managed to fundraise as a collective.
