People in Hitchin can enjoy coffee, cake and company at Dovehouse Lodge to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The Macmillan Coffee Morning takes place at the retirement living development for the over-60s on Thursday, September 12 from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Churchill Living, which has raised more than £730,000 for the charity since 2009, will donate £5 to Macmillan for every visitor who attends.

The event is part of Macmillan's World's Biggest Coffee Morning Campaign.

Churchill’s senior marketing manager Anne Scherrer said: "We are delighted to be inviting people to our developments once again to support Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.

"These events are not only a fantastic way to raise money for a very worthwhile cause, but also an opportunity to get the local community together and show people what life with Churchill is all about.

"Our developments are for those who want to keep living entirely independently, but with a strong sense of community and security, and this event is an ideal opportunity for visitors to see first-hand the lifestyle on offer here. 

"Many of our owners take advantage of the communal facilities, including the owners’ lounge where we hold regular coffee mornings and fun social events like this."
