Trio of events raises pots of money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Several departments across the University participated in Macmillan Cancer Support's World's Biggest Coffee Morning in September to raise money for the charity.

More than £1,500 was raised, the majority by the School of Nursing, Midwifery & Social Work. Sue Tizini, Research Secretary to the Macmillan Research Unit at the School, held the event in memory of her colleague Dr Bernadette Ryan-Woolley, who died earlier this year of cancer.

Lynda Capper organised a Coffee Morning at the Stem Cell & Leukaemia Proteomics Labs at the Institute of Cancer Research, while Andrea Grace Rannard, Manchester Student Volunteers Manager, ran the event for the MLP Careers & Employability Division.
