Cuppa for Macmillan<br />
What’s not to like about an event dubbed the World’s<br />
Biggest Coffee Morning - drinking coffee, eating cake and<br />
raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity<br />
that offers so much help to cancer sufferers each year. The<br />
event raised over £27 million pounds in 2019 as people all<br />
over the UK hosted their own coffee mornings.<br />
With the COVID restrictions in place, it’s going to be<br />
difficult to top that target this year so Macmillan are<br />
urging as many people as possible to sign up to host their<br />
own coffee mornings. Signing up is easy and you’ll even<br />
receive a free Coffee Morning Fundraising Kit to get you<br />
started.<br />
Fresh on the menu this year are socially distanced<br />
coffee mornings and virtual coffee mornings, and there<br />
are plenty of ideas on the Macmillan website to help.<br />
Take coffee mornings to your loved ones with doorstep<br />
deliveries, host garden coffee mornings, hold online<br />
quizzes are just some of the ideas for this year’s events.<br />
The official date for the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning<br />
is Friday 25 <strong>September</strong>, though many are held after<br />
or before that date. You can sign up to host a coffee<br />
morning or search for a coffee morning near you at www.<br />

Gamble Future<br />
A public consultation was held on the potential future<br />
use of the Gamble Building back in March, and feedback<br />
has shown an overwhelming desire by local people to<br />
see the building used as a community arts, cultural and<br />
educational space.<br />
With this in mind, the council’s Integrated Care Services<br />
and <strong>St</strong> <strong>Helens</strong> Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will<br />
be potentially relocating to Forster House. The Archives<br />
Service will remain in the building.<br />
