Macmillan Coffee Morning at the Cavalier Centre

Friday 29th September 2023, 10:30am to 12:00pm

One in two people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime in the UK, which means we’re all affected by it in someway. This year, the Cavalier Centre is hosting a Coffee Morning to support Macmillan. It’s just a small way we can play our part in helping people living with cancer.

We’d love it if you could join us. If you’re able to bring friends, and cake to share, that would be much appreciated.

No need to book – just come along!
