Success Of Macmillan Coffee Morning
On Friday September 25th 2009, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Sandwick Road building took part in the Annual MacMillan Coffee Morning and the magnificent sum of £1388.50 was raised. As well as the usual splendid array of baking a raffle was also held. Each day in Britain 822 people are told they have cancer. Every penny raised for Macmillan Cancer Support will fund more vital services and help to change lives.
Dolina MacLeod, who co-ordinated Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s event commented: “Each year we are delighted with the support given to MacMillan. The work that they undertake holds a special place in people’s hearts as we all know someone who has been affected by cancer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who so generously gave of their time and money”.
