A Successful Coffee Morning for Macmillan

On Friday 29th we hosted our very first Macmillan Coffee Morning, with plenty of cakes, tea, coffee and bacon sarnies! It being our first one, we weren’t sure if we’d have anyone come and join us, or if the Shire Oak team would be going home with lots of cakes. To our surprise, we had a lovely turnout of people who were all so incredibly generous with donations.

We are proud to share that we raised a brilliant and heartwarming £650 for Macmillan!
