Mac Muggy with Cllr Rod Cooper, Tori Webb and Chrissie Wathen-Neal
MACMILLAN Cancer Support charity arrived in Bournemouth to promote their World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.
The popular fundraising event raised a staggering £15 million last year and organisers were in town stirring up support for the event on September 27.
Mascot Mac Muggy helped promote the event by taking a ride in the Bournemouth Balloon before moving to the Square where the charity’s information bus was set up providing advice to visitors.
Chrissie Neal, fundraising manager for Dorset, said £150,000 was raised through coffee mornings in the county last year. “I am really looking to top that this year.”
