How do you host a coffee morning?
It’s simple to host a coffee morning. Pick a time and place that suits you, it can be at home, a local coffee shop or your favourite pub. The official date is the 30 June, but you can host whenever works for you. Then send out invites, either to friends and family, at work or at school, and you’re all set. You can provide coffee, drinks, food, snacks, you can play games or come up with something new altogether. It’s all about getting together to transform the lives of cancer patients.
How do I invite people to my coffee morning?
Use your JustGiving page as an invitation, or you can use our digital invitation which you can find in the resources section. However you choose to invite your guests, send out a save the date as soon as you can into WhatsApp groups, by email, on Teams and you can even pop posters up too. As long as guests know the time and place, you’re all set.
