A COFFEE morning will take place to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Accountancy firm Richard Edwards Group, who are based in Rosemary Lane in Halstead, will host the event on Friday, September 30, between 9.30am and 12.30pm.

Last year a similar event raised £617 before gift aid, and businesses in the town centre chipped in to help out.

Humes bakery donated a cake which was then raffled to raise extra funds - the bakery have kindly agreed to do the same this year.

The Little Book Cafe have also agreed to bring along a few extra treats for this years event.

For those in a rush, a takeaway service is also being offered, and whole boxes of cakes can be purchased.

Sam Bacon, who works at the firm, said: "We are a friendly and professional accountants office and all come together on charity days to raise as much as we can.

"We have some very talented bakers in our office so everything is always cooked to perfection and tastes gorgeous."

Everyone is being encouraged to pop along and enjoy a sweet treat or a cup of tea or coffee.
