PAX Hill Care Home at Bentley is taking part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

In preparation for this, the residents have made huge papier-mâché cupcakes.

Anyone is welcome to come to Pax Hill for coffee and cakes on Thursday, September 24, from 10-11.30am. Funds raised from sales will go towards helping the two million people in the UK living with cancer.

Macmillan say: “By 2030 there will be four million. We want to make sure we’re there for all of them.

“One in three of us will get cancer and for most it will be the toughest thing we ever face. When you’re facing the toughest fight of your life, you need a team of inspiring people in your corner with you.

“That’s who we are. We provide medical, emotional, practical and financial support and we push for a better cancer care system. We’re the team that gives you the strength and energy to face the fight and get through it.”

“Just over half of people newly diagnosed with cancer are aged over 70. We all have different needs and older people are no exception. Some are frail, while others are fit and active. Macmillan’s campaign is calling for treatment recommendations to be based on fitness rather than someone’s date of birth.
