Fundraising events are already underway for Macmillan, with the world's biggest coffee morning in and around Rutland and Stamford.
It began with South Luffenham's Saturday Fika Cafe at the Village Hall a couple of weeks back, and last Friday an event at the Essex Road Community Room on Stamford's Green Lane raised nearly £900 in four hours. Chairman of the Residents Association there, and one of the organizers, Peter Collins, says it's a cause that touches so many people:
"We've been doing this for the last six or seven years, and obviously everybody has been touched in some way by cancer. So you know, to donate and give to support and help the cancer cause that's why we do it. The local residents and people going into town, walking into town to the market, popped in, had a cake and coffee and found it great."
