Our Macmillan Coffee Morning Success in Outer West Newcastle

On September 27th, three local care companies - Right at Home Tyneside, KD Care, and MyHomeCare - teamed up to host a fantastic Macmillan Coffee Morning at West Denton Community Centre in the Outer West of Newcastle. This event wasn't just about raising vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support but also about giving our care staff, service users, and the local community a meaningful day out.

We were thrilled to have such a wonderful turnout, with people from all corners of the community joining in. The event was filled with fun activities for everyone - there were exciting games with prizes, a big soft play area to keep the kids entertained, and a delicious array of food and drinks, which kept the conversation flowing.

The goal was to raise as much as we could to support the essential work that Macmillan does for individuals and families affected by cancer. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who attended, we raised an impressive £516.42! Every penny will go towards helping Macmillan provide crucial care and resources to those in need.

For us at Right at Home Tyneside, KD Care, and MyHomeCare, this event wasn’t just about fundraising—it was about enabling more connections within the community. Many of our care staff and service users were able to enjoy a day out, meet new people, and feel a strong sense of belonging. Events like this play an important role in ensuring that everyone, especially those we care for, feels engaged and supported.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along, all the local businesses who contributed, and all whoe helped make the day such a success. We couldn’t have done it without your kindness and support, and we’re so proud to have been part of something so special for Macmillan.
