The World's Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support returns on Friday (September 28).
Businesses, schools, shops and individuals will be putting on delicious spreads of coffee, tea and cake to raise money for the charity that provides free support to cancer sufferers.
The charity, which last year raised £29.5 million, asks people all over the UK to host their own coffee mornings and donations on the day are made to Macmillan.

Fulham Boys School cakes
A football shirt cake has been made for a coffee morning at Fulham Boys School.
We’re pretty impressed, we must admit!
River Island coffee morning
River Island getting involved with a coffee morning for Macmillan this morning!
The bake sale is on in the Chelsea House Canteen from 10am onwards.
Some background
Okay, just a quick break from all the delicious cakes to provide some background.
The first ever coffee morning happened back in 1990, with the idea guests would gather over coffee and donate the cost of their cuppa to Macmillan.
After a very successful first year with just a small group of people, the cancer support charity did it again the next year – only that time nationally.
Since then, coffee mornings have raised over £165.5 million for Macmillan. Amazing work!
Sprinkles galore

Common guys!
All you knead is cakes this morning. Make your way down to St Mary’s Church to keep Acton Central SNT company!
'A chat, a cake and a cuppa'
St Mary’s Church in Acton will be hosting a coffee morning with the local Safer Neighbourhoods Team from Metropolitan Police.
“Come for a chat, a cake and a cuppa,” a spokesman from Acton Central SNT said.
The coffee morning will be running from 10am until 12pm at 1, The Mount, Acton High Street, London W3 9NW.
Harefield Academy coffee morning
Looking fantastic over at Harefield Academy, it’s fair to say this is making me hungry!
First coffee morning of the day!
Good morning!
Kicking things off today with a coffee morning at Barlby Primary School in Ladbroke Grove.
Hounslow coffee morning
A coffee morning in Wellington Day Centre, in Hounslow, will be taking place from 11am until 1pm on Saturday (September 30).
Manjinder Authi, organiser of the event, said that the Macmillan charity is “close to our hearts and family”.
We, like a lot of people either know someone that has cancer or has had cancer.
Macmillan provide support to cancer patients who are going through such a difficult time.
Helping to raise money for such a worthy cause allows Macmillan to ‘make sure no one faces cancer alone’.
If you are free come along and pop by for tea, coffee, cakes and a lot more!
If you cannot attend, the group has also created a JustGiving page for donations.
The coffee morning will be in Wellington Day Centre, 292 Staines Road, Hounslow, TW4 5BA.
Inspiration for west London bakers
While we await some mouthwatering pictures, here’s a few snaps from a previous Macmillan coffee morning to get you warmed up.
The coffee morning at the Lord Nelson pub had a range of tasty snacks to raise money.
Perhaps some ideas or inspiration for tomorrow’s event?
Last year's incredible effort
Last year, coffee mornings across the UK raised a whopping total of £29.5 million.
That incredible amount of money enabled Macmillan to continue to provide free advice and support to those affected by cancer.
Here’s to another fantastic amount this year!
