THE World's Biggest Coffee Morning for Macmillan Cancer Relief takes places tomorrow and once again people from the Vale and Cotswolds will be taking part.

Customers, friends and family can attend one of the many events in the Vale and enjoy a cuppa for a small donation going to the charity.

Staff at Wychavon District Council in Pershore will be laying out tea and coffee for the event, along with members of the Badhams Pharmacy in Bengeworth and Tesco along with many more shops and homes.

Chairman of the council Pam Davey said: "It's amazing what buying a cup of coffee can do to help people living with cancer. I hope as many people as possible join us for a quick cuppa and back this worthwhile cause."

Assistant manager for Badhams in Bengeworth Kate Castree said: "We hold a coffee morning every year as it's a charity important to us and many others. We look forward to seeing a lot of people on Friday."

Owner of Nail Elusion in Evesham Deborah Dyer said: "I always try and support as many charities as possible, I have had a lot of clients who are undergoing treatment for cancer and some who have recovered from the illness. Cancer is an illness that has affected someone somewhere so it only seemed appropriate to hold a coffee morning with the money going to the charity."

Staff at the Visitor Information Centre in Stow are hosting a coffee morning from 9.30am to 11.30am. Tea, coffee and cakes will be on sale and there will be a raffle of local produce.

Jean Bayliss will also be taking part in the coffee morning on Friday as hopes as many people as possible will attend the Littleton Village Hall.

Patricia Roberts of Honeybourne will be holding her first coffee morning this year at her home and is providing visitors with homemade biscuits and cakes.

"This is my first time, holding a coffee morning for the Macmillan Cancer Relief. I just hope as many people turn up as possible. I am an ex-cancer patient and I think it's nice to give something back to the charity," said Mrs Roberts.

Rebecca Teasdale owner of Salon 44 in Bidford High Street, will be hosting a coffee morning with an open invitation to all. The shop owner decided to take part in the coffee morning as she felt the unique work performed by Macmillan nurses needed supporting financially to maintain the quality of service.
