We like to have a selection of sweet and savoury treats to sell, so this year we had chicken dippers, sausage rolls and crisps as well as a huge range of homemade goodies including lemon drizzle cake, cheese straws, macarons, lemon and lime slices, cherry and choc chip cookies, cupcakes and Oreo chocolate bites.
As always, the canteen was decorated with loads of bunting and balloons, and there were posters up on every door in the building!
We're very pleased to have raised a total of £87.05 for such a great cause!
Today we joined thousands of people across the country to take part in the World's Biggest Coffee Morning to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. The PKL canteen was decked out with yards of bunting, and the tables were positively groaning under the weight of all the cake ready to sell.
Following last year's success, the standard of baked goods was particularly high as the more competitive members of staff battled to out-bake each other.
Top picks this year included some fabulous lemon drizzle cake, the most delicious sausage rolls we've ever eaten, posh cake pops, a magnificant array of chocolate brownies, and some rather fancy honey glazed flapjacks.
The feast has been available all day, so for some of our more hungry members of staff, it has constituted breakfast, elevenses, lunch and afternoon tea! We suspect our next fundraising event will need to be a charity slimathon...
We're really pleased that we've managed to beat last year's total, and have successfully raised £175 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
It's not too late to donate to this worthy cause, so donate online here.
Like many people across the country, we held a Macmillan coffee morning here at PKL today
as part of the charity's "World's Biggest Coffee Morning" fundraising event.
The
canteen has been filled with bunting, balloons and more cake than you
could shake a stick at, and PKL staff have been ducking in throughout
the day to top up their sugar levels and part with their hard-earned
cash!
PKL staff are
always willing to rise to the occcasion for these types of events,
especially if bunting is involved, so we now have enough cake to last us
until Christmas... at least!
Treats
on offer have included Pat's lemon drizzle cake, Sue's chocolate brownies, Linda's blueberry and lemon cake, Manisha's homemade sausage
rolls (always a popular choice in the office!) plus many more fantastic
offerings.
Certain members
of staff have also quite literally stepped up to the plate and have
selflessly taken it upon themselves to ensure they try every type of
cake on offer, so as not to offend anyone's feelings - what heroes!
This
is a really great cause, so if you haven't managed to go to a coffee
morning today, you can still donate to Macmillan online here.
EDIT: After the final count, we raised a total of £170!
