PEOPLE across Cumbria are being invited to host a Cancer Research UK Coffee Morning and help raise money to fund life-saving research.
The charity is encouraging everyone to sign up for a free fundraising pack today and host a coffee morning any time until the end of May – with the official coffee morning day falling on April 6.
The coffee mornings can be held at home, in the office, at school or in the local community, with people making a donation to attend.

Alison Barbuti, Cancer Research UK spokesperson for Cumbria, said: "Signing up for a Cancer Research UK Coffee Morning is a piece of cake!
"We are encouraging everyone in Cumbria to host a coffee morning and ask guests to donate in exchange for a drink, snack and chat. We all love a good brew in Cumbria and taking time out of the office or home for elevenses is a great way to catch up with friends and colleagues.
"Every donation made will help save lives by funding research to accelerate the charity’s progress in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer."
The Cancer Research UK Coffee Morning fundraising pack contains everything supporters need to plan their perfect coffee morning, including posters, balloons, recipe suggestions and fundraising ideas.
