A care home in Edgbaston is inviting people to come together over coffee and cake while raising money for a worthy cause.

Care UK’s Edgbaston Manor, on Speedwell Road, will host a Macmillan coffee morning in its café from 11am on Friday 25th September.

Members of the community can enjoy a relaxed morning while fundraising, with plenty of activities to get involved in, including a “guess how many sweets are in the jar” competition.

There will also be a selection of homemade treats prepared by the home’s head chef, including Macmillan-inspired green cupcakes. Residents and team members will be wearing green throughout the day to show their support for the cancer charity.

Resident Betty Rorke, said: “It is so lovely to have these events in my home, as we love to support different causes.”

Zoe Steventon, Home Manager at Edgbaston Manor, added: “We are delighted to be hosting a Macmillan coffee morning and supporting such an important cause.

“Events like this are a wonderful way to bring people together, create new connections and strengthen links within the local community. We’re also excited to welcome guests to our cafe, which is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee, a slice of cake and great company.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone for a morning of fundraising and fun.”
