Tandridge District Council Chairman, Councillor Brian Perkins, is asking residents to join him at the Council Offices, Oxted, from 10am to 12 noon on Friday 30 September for a cup of coffee to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Relief.

Tandridge District Council is taking part in Macmillan's annual fundraising event - the World's Biggest Coffee Morning. Macmillan Cancer Support helps improve the lives of people affected by cancer, both those living with cancer and their families and carers. Two million people in the UK are living with cancer and one in three will be diagnosed during their lifetime.

Last year over £8 million was raised at coffee mornings around the country. Every donation, whether 50p or £50, will help Macmillan continue providing much needed support. This could be practical help with everyday tasks, financial advice and assistance to help with the unexpected costs of cancer, emotional support or expert medical care from a Macmillan professional.

Councillor Brian Perkins said: "With so many people suffering the effects of cancer, even if we don't suffer personally we will all know people that are. Macmillan Nurses give much needed relief and help to sufferers and their families. I hope many of you will join me to raise much needed funds."
