A Socially Distanced Macmillan Coffee Morning!

Coronavirus and social distancing guidelines could have affected our ability to raise funds for charity this year. As a result, we have had to think outside the box to enable us to carry on our Corporate and Social Responsibility during the pandemic.

Every year we hold a Macmillan Coffee Morning in support of Macmillan Cancer Support. This year was no different.

Macmillan Cancer Support are one of the largest British charities. They provide specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer. The Macmillan Coffee Morning is a fundraising idea where people gather over a cup of coffee and donate the cost of their cup to the charity. However, we had to have guidelines in place to enable us to hold this years’ event as a ‘socially distanced’ coffee morning!

True Bearing staff used their skills to bake a variety of cakes including yummy Biscoff and Nutella muffins. We also had a guess how many sprinkles on the cake competition.

A total of £160 was raised on the day for this amazing charity. Great news for Macmillan Cancer Support and well done Team TB!
