Our supporters raised £247.7 million for Macmillan in 2017, almost £2.8 million more than the year before. Read about some of our flagship fundraising campaigns below:
Thousands of men and women across the country brave the clippers for Macmillan every August. Some part with their locks to give something back, others in support or memory of a loved one. Some do it as a team, others as a family. However they do it, their efforts raise vital funds to help improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
The ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ is Macmillan’s flagship fundraising event, which takes place each year towards the end of September. The idea is simple - all you need to do is get together with family, friends or colleagues over coffee and cake. All money raised will enable Macmillan to continue providing emotional, financial, medical and practical support to people affected by cancer.
Go Sober for October is Macmillan's abstinence fundraising campaign - this challenge event with a difference encourages people to give up alcohol for the month of October and ask friends and family to sponsor them for doing so.
