£205 was raised for Fund for Human need (FHN) which is a small Methodist affiliated charity established in 1960 to relieve poverty and hunger by offering loans to individuals in need of financial support. We had a good number of people out today and celebrated Hazel’s 80th birthday with a cake made by Helen. Thanks to our hosts Carol, Jane and Jacky.

A lot of people were missing from today’s coffee morning, due to holidays and hospital appointments. Many sent contributions and so with generous donations we collected £173.50 for our Methodist Church. Many thanks to those who came and to Sue, Malcolm, Chris, Colin and Val for serving up delicious homemade cakes with a smile! £303 was raised today for Christian Aid. This total was helped but the sale of cakes, coffee and tea were helped by a tombola and sale of homemade cakes.
We met today to raise £195 for Blue Cross; a charity which helps family and individuals to care for their pets and look after animals properly. A lovely sunny day brought out a lot of people and perhaps the school holidays helped boost numbers. The raffle had lots of prizes which all collected and the tea, coffee and cakes were superb. Many thanks to Pauline, Phil and Evelyn who hosted the event. Evelyn’s cakes and table decorations were much appreciated. £198 was raised today for Toybox charity. Lovely spring flowers on the tables and delicious home made cakes, including Fiona’s fresh cream meringues. We met today to raise £219 for our own chapel. There were some cakes to celebrate a 50th birthday for Helen this week and an 80th birthday a little later on for her mum Hazel. We met this morning to raise £140 for UK Breast Cancer. Some people were put off by the weather and others are still struck down with the winter flu bug but they gave money to support the charity and several of the ladies present have received treatment for this disease and know how important research is.
Thanks to Jacky, Jane and Alison who provided the cakes and service . After a very slow start (we thought the awful weather had put people off) we ended up with around 38 attendees, and made £249 for Coventry Open Christmas; a homeless charity, Today we met to raise £241.50 for Action for Children who provide long-term, stable support to children and young people. They also help run vital community services that local authorities can’t fund. A good number of people came and supported the morning thank you.
A good crowd turned up for coffee morning today which raised £261 for the National Autistic Society. Elizabeth and Hazel were the hostesses. So many people are now diagnosed with Autism that we received donations from those who were unable to attend, but wanted to support the charity. It was lovely to have Hazel’s daughter-in-law and grandchildren with us. Little Oliver was very tired but no trouble. His christening is coming shortly and we are glad he is making progress. Ruby had looked out some tactile toys so we could all experience the importance of touch and appreciate their value to those less able to express themselves verbally. Nobody wanted to go home after a lovely morning chatting. |
