Both the Westville Hotel and Marks and Spencer, Enniskillen will host coffee mornings. From 10am to 12 noon at the Westville has been very kindly donated the use of vintage china from Vintage Teas & VIPS, Dungannon. With plenty tea and coffee along with goodies available all proceeds will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. Representatives from Macmillan will be in attendance including Anne Love, volunteer manager and Martha Magee, information and support manager.

 

On the same morning Marks and Spencer, Enniskillen will do their bit for the charity.

 

All the money raised by the store funds the role of Macmillan Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Dietician, Heather Owen, at Antrim Hospital.

 

 Jim Masterson, Store Manager at M&S Enniskillen, said: “We hope this year will be our most successful yet, especially as it marks the 25th anniversary of World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. The countdown is on and we’ve got lots planned to raise vital funds for this very worthy cause. We look forward to welcoming people through our doors on 25th September for what promises to be a fun-filled day.”
