In a bid to make a meaningful difference, while simultaneously satisfying the various office sweet tooth cravings, our team at Freebook Global Technologies recently hosted a delightful coffee morning. The event was more than just your typical workday coffee break, as it was aimed at raising funds and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support, a fantastic cause that is close to many hearts within our company and beyond.
Macmillan Cancer Support is a UK-based organisation that provides invaluable care and aid for individuals and families affected by cancer. Macmillan ensure that no one faces the challenges of cancer alone, by offering medical assistance, emotional, and financial support.
By raising money, Macmillan can also support oncological healthcare workforces and boost vital cancer services to achieve better care for those impacted. Macmillan’s unwavering commitment to making life better for those dealing with cancer is nothing short of inspiring.
Our coffee morning went above and beyond your usual hot beverages and biscuits affair, with a shared purpose to raise both funds and spirits across all three of our offices. We had many team members bake, bringing in cakes and cookies off all kinds, so the offices were spoilt for choice with a wide range to choose from.
We can proudly say that our fundraising efforts worked, as the coffee morning managed to raise over £1000, all of which will go directly to support the outstanding work of Macmillan Cancer Support. The team used their creative baking prowess to make this possible, and the results were as sweet as the treats that were on offer!
It was a highlight of the morning to have the lovely aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the offices, ready to be enjoyed for a good cause. Office staff and visitors alike couldn’t resist indulging in the sweet treats that were available.
We crowned one team member from each office who brought in the tastiest treat, as voted by their colleagues.
The Freebook Global Technologies Baking Champions:
Besides indulging in the delicious baked goods, the coffee morning brought out the competitive spirit in the offices with exciting games and competitions, including guessing the quantity of sweets in a jar and the amount of ‘Colins’ on a page.
As well as this, Freebook Global Technologies also organised a lively game of bingo over Microsoft Teams, with Teneal emerging as the lucky winner in the Palm Beach Florida office.
All the games and activities had an entry fee and, along with plenty of generous donations, contributed to us raising over £1000 for Macmillan Cancer Support!
Our coffee morning wasn't just about coffee, cakes and games; it was about making a positive impact in the lives of those affected by cancer. The event embraced coming together as a team and supporting important causes in a delightful and engaging way.
We had a great time hosting this coffee morning and are extremely proud of the amount raised. We look forward to more Macmillan Coffee Mornings in the future and supporting other worthwhile causes through events and initiatives.
