Libraries NI to Host Macmillan Coffee Mornings Across Northern Ireland
Published 11 Sept 2024
Libraries NI is once again participating in this year’s Macmillan Coffee Morning, taking place on Friday 27 September 2024. Over the coming weeks, public libraries across Northern Ireland will be hosting coffee mornings, inviting everyone to join in and support a cause that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Libraries NI is proud to let everyone know that since beginning our relationship with Macmillan Cancer Support 12 years ago, our staff and generous customers have raised an incredible £116,240 through hosting Macmillan Coffee Mornings! This year, we aim to add to that total and continue making a positive impact. We sincerely thank our customers for their ongoing support and contributions.
Macmillan's Coffee Morning is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a chance to reconnect with your community, meet new friends, and enjoy a cup of coffee and a delicious treat, all while raising vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Whether you’re a regular library visitor or it’s your first time stepping through our doors, you’re warmly welcomed to take part in this important event.
Libraries NI Chief Executive, Dr. Jim O’Hagan, said: "We are proud to once again support Macmillan Cancer Support by hosting coffee mornings across our libraries. This event is a wonderful opportunity for communities to come together, enjoy some time with friends, and contribute to a cause that impacts so many lives.
“I encourage everyone to visit their local library and be part of something special. We couldn't have achieved such an impressive fundraising total without the generosity of our customers, and we thank you all for your continued support."
