Organisations all over Helston and the Lizard did their bit for the fight against cancer when they took part in the World's Biggest Coffee Morning organised by Macmillan Cancer Support.
As part of the event, groups all over the country got together for a cuppa to beat cancer, with all donations going to the charity, and over £1,000 was raised locally.
At the NFU Mutual in Helston, over £180 was made for the cancer charity on the day, with organiser Doreen Taylor saying the group still expected “a little donation or two to come in,” and adding that the people who attended “really enjoyed it.”
Helston Community Hospital also held a coffee morning which carried on into the afternoon, and organiser Trudy Addington thanked everyone who brought in donations of cakes and helped to raise £130.
RGB Building Supplies in Porthleven hosted a 'Big Breakfast Morning' as part of the campaign, starting at 7.30am and raising £226.
Sue Pengilly organised an event at the White Hart in St Keverne, including a raffle, tombola and silent auction, which she said raised an “amazing” £638.
Sue said: “We raised the money in two hours, which was fantastic.
“It was really well attended. Thanks to Leslie at the White Hart: it being in the village made it much easier.”
