Derby County Football Club, Derby County Community Trust and Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd linked up to host a Macmillan Coffee Morning at Pride Park Stadium on Tuesday.
The event took place in the Toyota Suite and raised over £1,000 in valuable funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
In addition to hot drinks, breakfast and cakes, there were several fundraising activities to get involved with, including a raffle and games with all proceeds supporting Macmillan Cancer Support.
It was confirmed earlier this month that Macmillan will be Derby County’s new designated charity partner for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons.
The organisation, which was founded in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan, is one of the leading UK charities.
From the moment someone is diagnosed with cancer, it provides them with all the information, support and guidance they need.
Macmillan’s mission is to do whatever it takes to get every person with cancer the best support today and spark a revolution in cancer care for the future.
Derby County Football Club, Derby County Community Trust and Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd would like to thank everyone who joined us to support Macmillan on Tuesday morning.
Macmillan has spent more than 100 years helping people living with cancer. From the moment someone is diagnosed with cancer, they are there to support with all the information, support and guidance they need, to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can.
Macmillan know that cancer can disrupt people’s whole lives and affects everyone differently. Cancer impacts more than just physical health, it can impact relationships, jobs, finances, emotional wellbeing and so much more. It can be made worse simply because of who you are and where you live.
Cancer affects more people in the UK than ever before, with nearly 3.5 million currently living with the disease - and the number is still climbing.
Right now, cancer care isn’t fair across the UK and there are unacceptable differences in the care and support people are getting. Some people aren’t getting the treatment or support they need because it isn't available where they live, or it is only available for certain types of cancer.
Macmillan is doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are.
They are 98% funded by donations, so fundraising is vital to support people living with cancer.
