Macmillan Coffee Morning events around campus

There's a number of World's Biggest Coffee Morning events happening around campus all week

Macmillan Coffee Morning

The popular event is being held this year on Friday, 28 September, but there are coffee mornings taking place all week on campus.  

The Coffee Morning is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event for people facing cancer.  People all over the UK host their own Coffee Mornings and donations on the day are made to Macmillan. Last year alone over £27 million was raised and together we can make this another successful year.

The Macmillan charity understands how cancer can affect people’s whole lives – health, money, family, job; everything. And, after more than 100 years of caring, they understand that the most important thing is to treat people as individuals, not patients.

Peer support group

Here at the University, we have our own peer support group for people affected by cancer organised by the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Team.  Anyone who has been impacted by cancer in any way - as a sufferer, as a carer, or simply as a friend - can be a member.  If you wish to be added to their confidential contact list, please email equalityanddiversity@manchester.ac.uk.
