The charity asks people all over the UK to host their own coffee mornings and donations on the day are made to Macmillan. Last year alone the charity raised £29.5m and this year is aiming to raise even more.

The first event happened way back in 1990 when guests gathered over coffee and donated the cost of their cuppa to Macmillan in the process. It was so effective, the charity did it again the next year – only this time nationally.

Tell us about your event and send pictures to [email protected] or share on the YEP Facebook page.
