Macmillan Coffee Morning at Legal-Island raised £110.01

Last week was an exciting week, quite spectacularly rounded off with our Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday morning. With Heather’s pricing strategy of 50p per bun or all you can eat for only a fiver, we made a lot more money than expected - £110.01 to be exact. Well done to everyone on raising money for such a great charity.
