The World's Biggest Coffee Morning - With a Twist!

20/10/2016

0 Comments

 
On Friday 30th September, we took part in the World's Biggest Coffee Morning and held our own event here in West Bridgford to raise money for Macmillan cancer support.

We wanted to do it a little bit differently so we decided to give it a health slant. At our coffee morning we had someone offering hand massages, someone selling oils and salts, someone giving pilates lessons... and of course there was lots of coffee and cake!

Thanks to the generosity of everyone who came along we raised a fantastic £354 (which we're going to double to make a total of £708). Not bad for a morning's cake-eating. I've just popped over to the Macmillan website and at the time of writing, all of the coffee mornings nationwide have raised £8,641,243.02. Now that's a lot of cake!
We were really lucky with the weather – here we are enjoying the beautiful day in late September.

We had a great turnout, about 30 people called in, and we thought it might be a good idea to re-open our doors at 5pm for anyone who couldn't make it during the day, so we picked up lots of people after work too.

This is Angeliki with a gorgeous collection of her extra virgin olive oil and sea salts, which went down very well. Angeliki runs Elia http://eliafoods.co.uk and specialises in bringing Greek food to the UK, feel free to contact her if you'd like to know more.
Above is Corinne, who's the local Executive Manager at The Body Shop at Home. She raised lots of money by offering luxurious hand massages to everyone for £2 a pop. And here's Nikki – owner of Studio Bùa in The Park, Nottingham – teaching some of the ladies about pilates and helping them burn off their coffee morning treats!

Not only did we have all that going on but we managed to fit in a raffle with some brilliant prizes from lots of local businesses too, so a BIG thank you to Côte, Mud Crab and La Storia – which contributed to the total we raised.

And finally a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came along, brought cake, bought cake, ate cake or donated in any way to make the morning such a huge success. Our guests say thanks too, they were extremely happy to be greeted  with the delicious leftovers when they arrived in their apartments!


​So, shall we do it all again next year? Same time, same place?

Feel free to get in touch to talk to us about cake, coffee mornings or our luxury apartments!
