Coffee Morning fundraising kits
What is a Coffee Morning fundraising kit?
The Coffee Morning fundraising kit is designed to support you with every step of planning and hosting your event. That means you can concentrate on getting everyone together for a fun day, and raising as much as you can.
As well as decorations and games, the free Coffee Morning fundraising kits contain:
- QR code stickers to direct people to your personalised fundraising page
- a money box for on-the-day donations
- Paying-in slips to send the funds you raise to Macmillan via a Post Office or bank.
When you sign up to host a Coffee Morning, you’ll be given the option to choose between our free full kit or the free lighter version with less paper and no plastic.
Please note that it can take up to 3 weeks after signing up to host to receive your fundraising kit in the post. In the meantime, we have plenty of free Coffee Morning resources you can download including posters, invites, decorations and more.

Frequently asked questions
-
When do I need to order my Coffee Morning fundraising kit by?
As a charity, we look to save costs wherever possible. Taking a little longer to send out Coffee Morning kits to our amazing hosts really helps us save money. To save on delivery costs, we often send out the fundraising kits in one big shipment instead of individually.
After signing up to host a Coffee Morning, you should receive your fundraising kit in 2 to 3 weeks.
If your event is in the next 2 weeks, you can download our digital Coffee Morning fundraising kit.
We’re sorry if it takes longer than you expected for your Coffee Morning fundraising kit to arrive. However, in the meantime, you can download our free Coffee Morning resources. They include posters, invites, fundraising games, decorations and more!
