Macmillan Coffee Morning at Cygnet Fountains
On Friday 27th September, the Occupational Therapy team at Cygnet Fountains held their annual Macmillan coffee morning to coincide with the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, Macmillan Cancer Support’s biggest fundraising event of the year.
Sarah Riding, Occupational Therapy Assistant, said: “One of our fantastic service users planned the event with the OT team and had the lovely idea of purchasing a teddy bear and flowers which staff had to contribute money and guess the name of. Our service user also made a Victoria sponge cake and some cake pops in the baking groups. He even made a fantastic playlist of musicians that had been effected by cancer.
“It was a great event and we were lucky to have both our advocate and Euan, our Expert by Experience, attend the event. So far a total of £136.00 has been raised. It was our best coffee morning yet and it was great to co-produce the event with our service user who contributed some great ideas. Thank you to our service user for all of his hard work and effort.”
