On Friday 18th October we held our annual Macmillan coffee morning, a huge fundraising event to raise money to support MacMillan’s vital work. Nelson Academy got involved, as we always do, and managed to raise lots of money, by selling amazing cakes, muffins, brownies and savoury treats to the Nelson Community. All cakes and treats were donated by parents and staff and the coffee morning was held in our small hall.

There was a huge raffle with some amazing prizes. Lots of local businesses and parents donated great prizes including vouchers, gift sets, tasty treats and more! There were so many winners and so much money raised from this.

A massive thank you to Sam Jefferies for organising this event, to the people who did such a wonderful job helping out and to all the parents and children who made and bought cakes to help support this charity. The money raised will help MacMillan fund their amazing nurses, answer calls on their Support Line, give financial support and more.
