Chelmsley Wood Macmillan Coffee Morning

On 26th September William H Painter’s Chelmsley Wood branch held a Macmillan Coffee morning as part of the national “World’s Biggest Coffee Morning” event.

Throughout the day the team organised refreshments and activities for visitors who dropped in to show their support. We organised a raffle, with prizes donated by local businesses including a mini valet and car service, a rug, some children’s toys, flowers, a fish and chip meal, a free cut and blow dry and a Wilkinson’s £10 gift card. A big thank you to Tesco in Castle Bromwich for a giftpack wrapped by a handful of flowers and donated to a church coffee morning on behalf of our Castle Bromwich branch, also a similar donation from Asda Great Barr and a Kingstanding florist donated to the New Inns pub coffee morning on behalf of our Yardley branch.

For those who wanted to rest from a hard day’s shopping, our volunteer masseur was on hand to provide back, neck and shoulder massages, as well as advice about nutrition and reflexology.

At the end of the day a selection of cakes were donated to a local school, Yorkswood Primary who were having an afternoon coffee morning and book sale, and others were donated to a local nursing home and local businesses.

Thank you to all those who came along, donated gifts and supported the event, in total £96.90 was raised.
